Copera Marginipes
''Copera marginipes'', yellow bush dart, is a species of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is native to Asia, where it is widespread and common. Description and habitat It is a medium sized damselfly with brown-capped yellow eyes with a narrow equatorial black band encircling them. Its thorax is black on dorsum with a yellow mid-dorsal carina and a narrow greenish-yellow humeral stripe, split in two and overlap each other. This stripe is followed by a broad black fascia, on the middle of the lateral side of the thorax, peppered with small pale yellow spots. The lateral sides beyond this is yellow, marked with an irregular black stripe on the anterior border of postero-lateral suture, and another one on the middle portion of metepimeron. Abdomen is black on dorsal half up to segment 8; paler on ventral half and with bluish-white basal annules. Segment 9 is bluish-white on dorsal half and black below it. Segment 10 is bluish-white. Anal appendages are pale yellow to whit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Damselfly
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica. All damselflies are predatory insects; both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but the ...

''Copera'' is a genus of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae. They are distributed in Asia, especially Southeast Asia.Yum, J. and Bae, Y. (2007)Description of the larva of ''Copera tokyoensis'' Asahina (Insecta: Odonata: Platycnemididae) from Korea.''Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity'' 23(1) 87-89.

Elattoneura
''Elattoneura'', the African threadtails, is a genus of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae. They were formerly placed in genus ''Prodasineura'', but form a distinct clade. The adults are smallish and delicately built damselflies, and their males have very wide heads (cf. '' Platycnemis'' and '' Copera''). The adults are typically found in sheltered locations beside or over running water, though a few prefer calmer water with much detritus. There appears to be two groups with differing habitat preferences. Those with pruinose (i.e. frosty grey or white) faces and mostly blue eyes occupy watercourses in open terrain, while those with black or brightly coloured faces are found along forested streams. Species There are over 30 species which include: Catalogue of Life, 29 January 2016. *' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
