Sympetrum Fonscolombii
The red-veined darter or nomad (''Sympetrum fonscolombii'') is a dragonfly of the genus ''Sympetrum''. Taxonomy There is genetic and behavioural evidence that ''S. fonscolombii'' is not closely related to the other members of the genus ''Sympetrum'' and it will at some time in the future be removed from this genus. Etymology ''Sympetrum fonscolombii'' was named under the protonym '' Libellula fonscolombii '' by the Belgian entomologist Edmond de Sélys Longchamps, in 1840, in honor of the French entomologist Étienne of Fonscolombe (hence the species name).Sélys-Longchamps, de, E. 1840. Monographie des libellulidées d'Europe. ''Libellula fonscolombii'' , Librairie Roret, 220 pages, Paris Its name is sometimes spelt ''fonscolombei'' instead of ''fonscolombii'' but Askew (2004) gives the latter as the correct spelling. Distribution ''Sympetrum fonscolombii'' is a widespread and common species in much of central and southern Europe including most Mediterranean islands, North Af ...

Habitat and distribution left, Female It breeds in temporary water bodies, which dry out in the autumn and are re-filled in late spring when the snow melts. It can also colonize reservoirs and paddy fields where such water dynamic is maintained by humans. Furthermore, it is thought to have spread across some parts of Europe thanks to carp aquaculture which creates similar conditions. The species ...
