Description of a new species of Lauromacromia Geijskes, 1970 (Odonata: Corduliidae) from Southeastern Brazil Author Carvalho, Alcimar L. Author Salgado, Luiz Gustavo V. Author Werneck-De-Carvalho, Pedro C. text Zootaxa 2004 666 1 11 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.158267 ab351fdd-5b05-4182-8353-a03cb130004f 1175­5326 158267 5F573B83-7268-4B6A-8898-DEA414F7BB2B Key to the adults of the genera of Corduliidae occurring in Brazil This is a modified and updated version of the key published by Geijskes (1970) , and is suited to countries of tropical South America . In order to allow the identification of males and females, preferably three venational characters were selected to be used in each step of the key. The chosen characters are not known to be sexually dimorphic in any of the known species. In this way, we expect that our key will allow undescribed male or female corduliids to be ascribed to their proper genus. 1 Subtriangle of fore wing free; triangle of hind wing slightly distad to level of arculus; apex of anal loop separated from posterior border of hind wing by two or more cells. 2 ­ Subtriangle of fore wing crossed; triangle of hind wing just proximad or at level of arculus; apex of anal loop separated from posterior border of hind wing commonly by just one cell..................................................................................................................... 4 2 Two rows of cells throughout discoidal field of fore wing; anal loop elongate, reaching level of middle fork of M or more distad, bisector distinct; anal area in hind wing with 3–4 rows of cells .................................................................................
