Despite this, larvae of most species are still unknown only the ultimate larval stadium of N. First report on the dragonflies from Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso, state of São Paulo, Brazil, with notes on the morphology and behavior of Lauromacromia picinguaba (Odonata: Corduliidae s.l.). nov., a new genus of neotropical Corduliidae, with descriptions of seven new species (Anisoptera: Corduliidae). These metallic greenish anisopterans inhabit both forested and open areas, and contrary to many other neotropical corduliid genera, ecological and biological data from adults are generally available in the literature (e.g., Machado and Costa, 1995 Machado, A. The genus Navicordulia Machado & Costa, 1995 (Insecta: Odonata: Corduliidae s.str.): new species, identification key for males and data on ecology and distribution. Fleck and Juillerat, 2019 Fleck, G., Juillerat, L., 2019. (Odonata: Corduliidae) from northeastern Santa Catarina State, Brazil.

Navicordulia includes corduliids widespread across the three most important biological domains of South America: Amazonia, in Venezuela, French Guiana and Brazil Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, in Brazil ( Machado and Costa, 1995 Machado, A. The John Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, 368 pp.). Dragonfly Genera of the New World: An Illustrated and Annotated Key to the Anisoptera. occurring in the Western Hemisphere, the richness of Navicordulia is just behind of the large and diverse Holarctic Somatochlora Selys, 1871, with 26 species recorded in North America (cf. ), with 13 species ( Fleck and Juillerat, 2019 Fleck, G., Juillerat, L., 2019. The endemic South American emerald dragonflies of Navicordulia Machado & Costa, 1995 currently represents the second species-rich corduliid genus in the Neotropical region ( Pinto and Lamas, 2010 Pinto, A.
SYNONYMIA CARTOGRAPHICA FULL
Despite of the advances of taxonomic knowledge of Navicordulia, the second species-rich corduliid genus in the Neotropical region, the status of some species still necessitates a full revision.Īnisoptera Libelluloidea Corduliinae New synonymies Species delimitation Taxonomy Photos, other illustrations, and a new species-level diagnosis are given. We consider the three simultaneously available nomina as synonyms, and by action of the first reviser, Navicordulia atlantica Machado & Costa, 1995 is selected as valid nomen, hence N. The proportional size of caudal appendages, an additional crossvein in cubito-anal space in the hind wing, as well as minor differences in coloration of pterostigma are not reliable diagnostic characters for supporting their specific status. Based on our results the hypothesis of these three nomina corresponding to distinct species is no longer supported. All name-bearing types and additional specimens of the Navicordulia atlantica-complex- Navicordulia atlantica Machado & Costa, 1995, Navicordulia mielkei Machado & Costa, 1995 and Navicordulia miersi Machado & Costa, 1995-were investigated to assess their taxonomic and nomenclatural status. Three Atlantic Forest endemic species of emerald dragonflies of the genus Navicordulia Machado & Costa, 1995 are reviewed through a morphological comparative analysis.
