ON THE GENERIC STATUS OF SCHIZOCORDULIA MACHADO, 2005 (ANISOPTERA: CORDULIIDAE)

摘要

R.W. GARRISON et al. (2006, Dragonfly genera of the New World, Hopkins Univ. Press, Baltimore) synonymized Schizocordulia Machado, 2005 with Aeschnosoma Selys, 1870, alleging that the characters used to separate them are specific rather than generic. However, a study of the literature revealed that except for size all these characters have always been regarded as generic and therefore Schizocordulia is revalidated as a good genus.
