“…1. Again in contrast to our results, Needham and Broughton (1927) (Artiss et al 2001), is not supported by our analysis. Synapomorphies of Libellula include fore wing with 4-5 unmatched postnodals, wings with 2-6 bridge crossveins, basal brown area of fore wing extended to first antenodal (reversed at least 3 times), and abdomen wide (abdominal segment 5 wider than long, reversed at least 4 times).…”

“…All four subgenera are restricted to North America and the most basal species in each is found in either the south western United States or Central America, suggesting that this area was an important refugium for Libellula during glacial maxima. In contrast to the findings of Artiss et al (2001) we do not find Belonia to be paraphyletic. Synapomorphies for Belonia include the reddish abdominal and wing color, and the unique penile cornua which are elongate, asymmetrical, and lined with short papillae.…”

“…Although superficially similar, the cornual expansion in Neotetrum has its apex directed dorsally as opposed to anteroventrally in Eurothemis, suggesting that these expansions are not homologous. Although Artiss et al (2001) did not confirm a close relationship between Platetrum and Plathemis, this, our second basal group is characterized by several synapomorphies including: male with ventral processes on abdominal sternum one, lateral penile lobes widened apically, third penile segment with a transverse trough, and abdominal segment 9 with lateral carinae. Both the Ladona-Eurothemis and Plathemis-Platetrum subgeneric pairs are separated by the North Atlantic Ocean; because none of these species are unusually vagile it is likely that they represent the isolated remnants of a transatlantic Miocene faunal split.…”

Phylogenetic analysis was performed on a set of 242 morphological characters. The taxon sample included 31 Libellula, and representative species from selected libeluline tribes, from all libellulid subfamilies, from all libelluloid families, from all anisopteran superfamilies, and Epiophlebia. Corduliinae was shown to be paraphyletic even among genera characterized by a well developed anal loop bisector. Sympetrini was found to be polyphyletic with Crocothemis the sister group to Libellulini. The traditional placement of Trameini, far from Libellulini is in doubt, because it is here placed as the sister group to Crocothemis + Libellulini. Kennedy's phylogeny of Libellula was largely corroborated, with the following exceptions: the subgenera Libellula, Eolibellula, and Syntetrum form a monophyletic group which is the sister group to a clade including Belonia, Holotania, Neotetrum, and Eotainia subgenus nov. [type species Mesothemis composita Hagen]; and Eurothemis is determined to be the sister group of Ladona instead of Neotetrum. In addition we confirm Belonia to be monophyletic, and find Platetrum + Plathemis to form a monophyletic group, sister to Ladona + Eurothemis; these four subgenera together form the sister group to Libellula sensu stricto (s.s.).

Molecular phylogeny of Orthetrum dragonflies reveals cryptic species of Orthetrum pruinosum

Dragonflies of the genus Orthetrum are members of the suborder Anisoptera, family Libellulidae. There are species pairs whose members are not easily separated from each other by morphological characters. In the present study, the DNA nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear genes were employed to elucidate the phylogeny and systematics of Orthetrum dragonflies. Phylogenetic analyses could not resolve the various subfamilies of the family Libellulidae unequivocally. The nuclear 28S rRNA gene is highly conserved and could not resolve congeneric species of Orthetrum. Individual mitochondrial genes (COI, COII, and 16S rRNA) and combination of these genes as well as the nuclear ITS1&2 genes clearly differentiate morphologically similar species, such as the reddish species pairs O. chrysis and O. testaceum, and the bluish-coloured species O. glaucum and O. luzonicum. This study also reveals distinct genetic lineages between O. pruinosum schneideri (occurring in Malaysia) and O. pruinosum neglectum (occurring north of Peninsular Malaysia from India to Japan), indicating these taxa are cryptic species.

The Japanese endemic Sympetrum frequens is considered as the insular vicariant of S. depressiusculum, widely distributed in the Eurasian Continent. In Korea, morphologically intermediate specimens have been collected, mixed with typical S. depressiusculum. The taxonomical status of these two species is thus questionable. To clarify their status, sequencing of mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) was performed on 77 specimens of Sympetrum species collected from Korea and Japan. The pairwise differences between 378 nucleotides of S. frequens and S. depressiusculum, including the intermediate type, revealed only minor differences (< 0.5%, average 0.48%). The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree indicated that all S. frequens and S. depressiusculum form one clade, suggesting that they pertain to a single species. The tree also suggests that the S. frequens population from Hokkaido is different from all other populations.
