Abstract
The new species is described and illustrated from two males (holotype: Venezuela, Amazonas State, Serranía del Cuao, Caño Negro, 1440 m elevation, 5.087°N, 67.438°W, deposited in the MIZA Odonata collection, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Faculty of Agronomy, Maracay). The new species differs from all other species so far known mainly in structure of posterior hamulus and cercus. The subgenus Mesocordulia May, 1992 is formally elevated to generic rank different from Neocordulia Selys, 1882.
新种由两只雄虫描述和说明(主模式:Venezuela, Amazonas State, Serranía del Cuao, Caño Negro, 1440 m elevation, 5.087°N, 67.438°W, deposited in the MIZA Odonata collection, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Faculty of Agronomy, Maracay)。该新种与迄今已知的所有其他物种的区别主要在于后腿和喙的结构。亚属 Mesocordulia May, 1992 被正式提升为不同于 Neocordulia Selys, 1882 的属。
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
