Redefinition of Leptobasis Selys with the synonymy of Chrysobasis Rácenis and description of L. mauffrayi sp. nov. from Peru (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)

Abstract

Chrysobasis is synonymized with Leptobasis. The latter is diagnosed by the combination of rounded frons, CuP reaching hind margin of wing, CuA relatively short, and supplementary pretarsal claw reduced to vestigial, and by the presence on the distal segment of the genital ligula of a pair of chitinized, flap-like, movable processes directed posteriorly. A new species from Peru, L. mauffrayi, is described, and illustrations, maps, and keys for all Leptobasis species are provided.

Description of the Last Stadium Nymph ofLeptobasis lucifer(Odonata: Coenagrionidae)

“…ratio 3.7-3.8 for vacillans versus 4.1-5.1 for lucifer); 4) tracheae of caudal lamellae of L. vacillans not as dark as those of L. lucifer. The similarities in the nymphs of these species support the decision by Garrison and von Ellenrieder (2010) to synonymize Chrysobasis Rácenis with Leptobasis. Needham (1904) described nymphs, by supposition, from Puerto Rico questionably as Leptobasis sp.…”

Biodiversidad de Odonata en México

“…Por otro lado, también ha quedado documentado que las poblaciones de América continental que se ubicaban anteriormente como Dythemis multipunctata, Kirby, 1894 corresponden en realidad a Dythemis nigra Martin, 1897; D. multipunctata es endémica de la isla de San Vicente en las Antillas Menores (Meurgey y Poiron, 2011). De manera similar, la entidad conocida como Chrysobasis lucifer Donnelly, 1967 fue cambiada de estatus y ubicada dentro del género Leptobasis (Garrison y Ellenrieder, 2010). Finalmente, Amphipteryx longicaudata González-Soriano, 1991 fue señalado como un sinónimo de A. agrioides Selys, 1853(González-Soriano y von Ellenrieder, 2009.…”
