Remarks.
According to the original description, figures and
type
locality we believe
Coenagrion dorothea
is the same species as
Paracercion impar
. We propose a new combination for
Paracercion dorothea
(
Fraser, 1924
)
and treat
P. impar
(
Needham, 1930
)
as a junior synonym of
P. dorothea
. We discussed the status of
Cercion yunnanensis
with the late H. Q. Zhu in 2005, and she agreed with us in considering
Cercion yunnanensis
a junior synonym of
Paracercion impar
.
Thus
C. yunnanensis
is also a new junior synonym of
P. dorothea
.
