Fylgia amazonica

25/05/2008
The photos in this gallery I never uploaded before. I thought I wouldn't be able to identify them and that the libellulid on the photo was some female perithemis.
While doing some work in the natural history museum in Leiden this week, I looked at some female specimens of Fylgia amazonica and realized that I had seen this before... on my own photos.
Today I searched through my archives and found these. Although on the photo of course it isn't possible to see the diagnostic vulvar lamina and it is hard to see the exact wing venation, I am fairly certain this is a female Fylgia amazonica.

Dennis paulson shows one on his site:
