Abstract

Lestes concinnus is a widespread species in tropical Asia and Oceania. It is a species known to have variable colour patterns ranging between pale and dark phenotypes which have earlier been recognized as distinct species. Lestes concinnus has never been known from Sri Lanka before. We report observations of both phenotypes of the species and intermediate morphs of Lestes concinnus from coastal habitats with dry reed patches in the northern part of the country, adding it to the Odonata fauna of Sri Lanka. With multiple field observations examined, we also provide comments on its identification and natural history in the country.

斯里兰卡第一次记录绵虱(夜蛾目:绵虱科)及其自然历史观察

在热带亚洲和大洋洲广泛分布的一种。这是一种已知的在苍白和深色表型之间具有可变颜色模式的物种，早期被认为是不同的物种。斯里兰卡以前从未听说过莱斯特·康辛努斯。我们报告了在该国北部沿海有干芦苇斑块的栖息地中观察到的Lestes concinus的物种表型和中间形态，并将其添加到斯里兰卡的Odonata动物群中。通过多次实地观察，我们还对其鉴定和该国的自然历史进行了评论。
