Nososticta purari sp. nov., a new damselfly from Papua New Guinea (Odonata: Platycnemididae)

摘要

A new species of damselfly, Nososticta purari sp. nov., is described from the Purari River basin in Gulf Province, southern Papua New Guinea. It most closely resembles the geographically remote N. kaizei Theischinger & Richards, 2015, a species known only from Japen Island off the north coast of Indonesian New Guinea. Nososticta purari sp. nov. is the 84th known member of this speciose platycnemidid genus, and is currently known only from the type locality where it lives along small, slow-flowing streams in swampy lowland rainforest.
