New records for Erythrodiplax fulva (Libellulidae: Odonata) from Brazil

Abstract

The genus Erythrodiplax is the most species-rich libellulid in the Neotropics. Erythrodiplax fulva is one of the less known species of this genus, with its larva currently unknown and conservation status undefined. It was described based on specimens from Venezuela and later recorded from Guiana and French Guiana. We record the species from Brazil for the first time, comment on the importance of the distributional expansion range of E. fulva and point out the main differences between similar species.
