Attenuated Dragonlet (Erythrodiplax attenuata) 9 June 2019. Rio Amazonas, Iquitos, Peru.
![]() Erythrodiplax is a large Neotropical genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae. These small to medium-sized skimmers are commonly known as Dragonlets. However, this species apparently has no English name. I therefore propose "Attenuated Dragonlet" as an appropriate English name. This is a male with black wing spots. Thanks to Paul Donahue for the identification. Canon PowerShot SX60 HS. |
