Coenagrionidae Wing(loz)
The insect family Coenagrionidae is placed in the order Odonata and the suborder Zygoptera. The Zygoptera are the damselflies, which although less known than the dragonflies, are no less common. More than 1,300 species are in this family, making it the largest damselfly family. The family Coenagrionidae has six subfamilies: Agriocnemidinae, Argiinae, Coenagrioninae, Ischnurinae, Leptobasinae, and Pseudagrioninae. This family is referred to as the narrow-winged damselflies or the pond damselflies. The Coenagrionidae enjoy a worldwide distribution, and are among the most common of damselfly families. This family has the smallest of damselfly species. More than 110 genera of the family Coenagrionidae are currently accepted.Integrated Taxonomic Information System (2007)Coenagrionidae retrieved November 4, 2007. Etymology The name may be derived from Greek ''coen'' meaning shared or common and ''agrio'' meaning fields or wild. Characteristics * Usually have a black pattern * G ...

Ceriagrion Glabrum
''Ceriagrion glabrum'' is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. Its common names include common orange, common citril, common pond damsel, common waxtail, orange waxtail and gewone aljander. It is widespread in Africa, where it is found in habitats that are dominated by reeds. Description This is a small to medium size damselfly (length up to , wingspan up to ). The eyes are greenish with a dark grey cap. As is the case in many damselflies, this species shows strong sexual dimorphism. Males have a bright orange, unmarked abdomen and thorax, with a lighter yellow-orange colour on the sides of the abdomen. Females range from brown to green to orange. They become increasingly orange with age, although they never reach the same striking brightness of the males. Distribution and habitat This is by far the most common and widespread African ''Ceriagrion'' species. It has been observed to occur in Angola, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coenagrion Puella Luc Viatour
''Coenagrion'' is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly called the Eurasian Bluets (although three species are found in North America: '' Coenagrion angulatum'', '' Coenagrion interrogatum'', and '' Coenagrion resolutum''). Species of ''Coenagrion'' are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies. Species The genus ''Coenagrion'' includes the following species: Biology Thermal adaptation This genus's capacity for phenotypically plastic responses to the surface air temperature is important to species' ranges. These thermal responses will also decide a great deal of these species' responses to climate change. Nilsson-Örtman ''et al.'', 2012 find a high degree of thermal adaptation in high latitude populations of ''Coenagrion''. They found similar plasticity even for various sympatric In biology, two related species or populations are considered sympatric when they exist in the same geographic area and thus frequently encounter one anoth ...
