Gomphidae
The Gomphidae are a family of dragonflies commonly referred to as clubtails or club-tailed dragonflies. The family contains about 90 genera and 900 species found across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The name refers to the club-like widening of the end of the abdomen (abdominal segments 7 through 9). However, this club is usually less pronounced in females and is entirely absent in some species. Etymology The name may be derived from Latin ''gomphus'' or ''gond'' meaning "hinge". Characteristics Clubtails have small, widely separated compound eyes, a trait they share with the Petaluridae and with damselflies. The eyes are blue, turquoise, or green. The thorax in most species is pale with dark stripes, and the pattern of the stripes is often diagnostic. They lack the bright metallic colors of many dragonfly groups and are mostly cryptically colored to avoid detection and little difference between the sexes is seen. Adults are usually from in length; there ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gomphus (dragonfly)
''Gomphus'' is a genus of clubtail dragonflies in the family Gomphidae. As a result of phylogenetic studies, ''Gomphus'' subgenera ''Gomphurus'', ''Hylogomphus'', ''Phanogomphus'', and ''Stenogomphurus'' were elevated in rank to genus in 2017. With the removal of their member species, ''Gomphus'' ended up with 11 of its previous 54 species, none of which are found in the Western Hemisphere. Species These 11 species belong to the genus ''Gomphus'': These species formerly belonged to the genus ''Gomphus'': * ''Gomphurus crassus'' (Hagen in Selys, 1878) (handsome clubtail) * ''Gomphurus dilatatus'' (Rambur, 1842) (blackwater clubtail) * ''Gomphurus externus'' (Hagen in Selys, 1858) (plains clubtail) * ''Gomphurus fraternus'' (Say, 1840) (midland clubtail) * ''Gomphurus gonzalezi'' (Dunkle, 1992) (tamaulipan clubtail) * ''Gomphurus hybridus'' (Williamson, 1902) (cocoa clubtail) * ''Gomphurus lineatifrons'' (Calvert, 1921) (splendid clubtail) * ''Gomphurus lynnae'' (Paulson, ...
