in Japan, Korea and very widely in China (
Wilson 2009
). This species has the following synonyms:
Lestes
extraneus Needham, 1930
,
Lestes
monteili Navas, 1935
, and, probably,
L
coeruleus
Fraser, 1924 (
Wilson 2009
;
Dow 2013
). It was first described as a subspecies of the preceding species, as
Lestes
gracilis
peregrinus
(
Ris 1916
), basing on the differences in the dark pattern. The main of them are as follows: synthorax dorsal stripe with projections in
peregrinus
versus with straight margins in
gracilis
;
abdominal marks separated into anterior and posterior parts in
peregrinus
versus entire in
gracilis(
Ris 1916
)
. However,
Asahina (1976)
substantiated that
I.
peregrinus
and
I. gracilis
are bona species. He pointed out that the above mentioned differences in the body pattern are reliable in spite of variability of its general
expression
, and added the important difference in the shape of the paraprocts, which
is
pointed in dorsal view in
I. peregrinus
and rounded in
I. gracilis
.
