The larva and female ofPerigomphus basicornisare described and illustrated, and compared with the larva and female ofP. pallidistylus.The larva ofP. basicornisdiffers from that ofP. pallidistylusin having sternum 8 divided in five sclerites, abdominal segments 8 and 9 with small, low protuberances on the tergites and male’s epiproct as long as its basal width, mainly. The female ofP. basicornisdiffers from that ofP. pallidistylusin having the apical lobes of vulvar lamina wider, with divergent tips.P. pallidistylusis recorded for Colombia for the first time.

Insecta Mundi, 2014
is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Manuscript preparation guidelines are availablr at the CSE website.
Erythemis Hagen, 1861: proposed precedence over Lepthemis Hagen, 1861 (Insecta, Odonata).
The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.1 of the Code, is to conserve the widespread usage of the generic name Erythemis Hagen, 1861 for a group of common dragonflies from the New World over the simultaneously published nominal genus Lepthemis Hagen, 1861, selected to take precedence by the First Reviser action (Article 24.2), whenever these names are considered to be synonyms. This proposal seeks to achieve the least change in the nomenclature of the species currently placed in these two genera, in strict accordance with Principle 4 of the Code.
International Journal of Odonatology, 2011
In this contribution the final stadium larvae of Erythrodiplax connata and E. basifusca are described and that of E. minuscula is redescribed. Diagnoses are provided for the larvae of the genus Erythrodiplax and for those included in the connata group. E. connata lacks lateral spines on abdominal segments, a character which has not been observed in any other larvae of the genus. Finally, due to the fact that the larvae of E. connata could not be reared successfully until emergence, differences with other sympatric Patagonic Libellulidae are discussed.En esta contribución se describe el último estadio larval de Erythrodiplax connata y E. basifusca y se redescribe el de E. minuscula. Se provee una diagnosis de las larvas del género Erythrodiplax y de las larvas del grupo connata. Se destaca la ausencia de espinas laterales en las larvas de E. connata, caracter que no ha sido observado en ninguna otra especie del género. Por último, debido a que las larvas de E. connata no han podido ser criadas hasta su emergencia en el laboratorio, se discuten las diferencias con respecto a otros Libellulidae patagónicos encontrados en simpatría con esta.
A revision of the South American species of Aphylla Selys, 1854 (Odonata: Gomphidae)
Zoologische mededelingen, 1992
A revision is given of the 16 recognized South American species of the New World genus Aphylla Selys. Three new species are described and figured, viz. A. scapula (cr holotype; Brazil, Territorio de Ronddnia, Fazenda Rancho Grande), A. silvatica (d* holotype: Ecuador, Provincia Napo, Limoncocha) and A. spinula (cr holotype: Peru, Departamento de Cuzco, Rio Urubamba). A. obscura (Kirby, 1899) and A. albinensis Belle, 1970, are considered junior synonyms of A. tenuis Selys, 1859, and A. brevvpes Selys, 1854, respectively, while A. simulata Belle, 1964, is considered a synonym of A. dentata Selys, 1859. Separate identification keys to the males and the females of the South American species of Aphylla are provided.
The Mexican species of Erythmelus Enock (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) are revised. A key to females of 13 species is provided in both English and Spanish. Two new taxa are described-E. maya Guzmán-Larralde & Triapitsyn, sp. n. and E. tigres Guzmán-Larralde & Triapitsyn, sp. n. Six species are newly recorded from Mexico-E. angustatus Ogloblin, E. cingulatus Ogloblin, E. clavatus Ogloblin, E. gracilis (Howard), E. nanus Dozier, and E. noeli (Dozier), besides new geographic records for E. miridiphagus Dozier, E. picinus (Girault), E. psallidis Gahan, and E. rex (Girault) which were previously known from the country.
