The Odonata (Insecta) of Patagonia: A synopsis of their current status with illustrated keys for their identification Author Muzón, Javier Author Pessacq, Pablo Author Lozano, Federico text Zootaxa 2014 3784 4 346 388 journal article 46101 10.11646/zootaxa.3784.4.2 392d0637-1e41-476c-9f59-b5565720ee40 1175-5326 225033 D24E3364-03AC-48E3-891C-DF4E20EE604F Petaluridae ( Fig. 54 b) This family exhibits a transpacific distribution pattern; it is represented in South America only by the monotypic genus Phenes endemic to Patagonia. Mainly based on color differences, Jurtzitza (1989b) proposed a subspecific division for Phenes raptor , recognizing P. r. raptor as an austral form and P. r. centralis for the central area around Santiago city. We do not follow this proposal. Terrestrial larvae were collected on rainforest floor and seepage areas ( Garrison & Muzón 1995 ; Baird 2013 ), and terrestrial oviposition was mentioned by Muzón (2009) . The larva was described by Schmidt (1941) and Needham & Bullock (1943) ; behavior and larval habitat preferences were recently summarized by Baird (2013) .
