摘要
Phylloneura Fraser, 1922 是一个豆娘属,迄今为止一直被认为是单型的,仅以印度西高止山特有的 Phylloneura westermanni (Hagen in Selys, 1860) 为代表。在我们的研究中,我们在 Thiruvananthapuram 的 Ponmudi 山附近发现了一个 Phylloneura 种群,该种群在形态和行为上与 P. westermanni 存在显著差异。在此,我们将其描述为科学界的一个新物种,并提供了详细的照片和插图。我们还对其繁殖行为进行了说明。
Description of Phylloneura rupestris sp. n. (Odonata, Platycnemididae) from the Western Ghats, India, with notes on its reproductive behaviour
Phylloneura Fraser, 1922 is a genus of damselflies that, to date, has been regarded as monotypic, represented solely by Phylloneura westermanni (Hagen in Selys, 1860) which is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. In our study, we happened upon a population of Phylloneura near the Ponmudi Hills, Thiruvananthapuram, which was notable for displaying morphological and behavioural differences from P. westermanni. Here, we describe it as a species new to science, providing detailed photographs and illustrations. We also provide notes on its reproductive behaviour.
