Megalagrion Dinesiotes
''Megalagrion'' is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. It contains approximately 26 species, all of which are endemic to Hawaii. Megalagrion damselflies are the only native damselflies in Hawaii, and are referred to as " pinapinao" in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. Other native Hawaiian dragonfly species include ''Anax strenuus'' and ''Nesogonia Blackburni,'' which are referred to as "pinao". Nymphal ''Megalagrion'' live in widely diverse habitats, including the expected streams and pools. ''Megalagrion'' also exploit some surprising habitats such as plant leaf axils of the 'ie'ie vine, waterfall faces and seeps, and even damp fern litter outside of the water. '' M. oahuense'' is the only species of damselfly whose naiad is terrestrial, living in damp leaf litter under banks of uluhe ferns until metamorphosis. Many species of ''Megalagrion'' are in danger due to habitat loss and predation by non-native fish such as mosquitofish. To protect them, non-native fish sh ...
