Apuntes

• 2.4.10, Villaflores, pie del Nambiyigua:

Gynacantha helenga oder tibiata: Anisoptere verteidigt kleines Revier im ausgetrockneten Flussbett zwischen Steinen mit braunem Boden (fast wie Kuhdung): Augen, Thorax und Abdomen vornehmlich grün, Flügelansatz von hinten sichtbar blau, Abdomen grün und braun gezeichnet, Cerci lang und gelb, fliegt sehr ausdauernd, Revierinhaber setzt sich gar nicht, Eindringling rastet an Zweigen, Größe etwa wie Aeshna cyanea (7-8 cm) ca.10 Uhr vormittags;

• blaue Zygoptere;
• kleine, mäßig schlanke dunkle Anisoptere mit zwei hellen Markierungen auf dem Abdomen;
• Anisoptere mit rotem Abdomen (Orthemis?);
• Anisoptere mit dunklem Abdomen und schwarzer Zeichnung auf den Flügeln;
• ganz seltsamer Hautflügler (Wespe oder Biene), Körper schwarz und behaart, ca. 2cm lang, Abdomen gelb (und behaart) wird nach oben gebogen und auffällig bewegt, breiter Kopf mit sehr langen, schlanken Mandibulae, die so lang sind wie der Kopf breit ist und vor dem Kopf überkreuz gehalten werden, an Beinen und Körper befinden sich verschiedene runde Gnubbel, die dem Tier ein gepanzertes Aussehen geben, mehrere Individuen flogen im Abstand von einigen Metern voneinander im Unterholz des Waldes am Talgrund langsam durch die Luft und setzten sich auf Blätter. Ganz oben, dort wo wir umkehrten (weil es keinen Weg weiter gab, um hoch auf den Nambiyigua zu steigen), dichter grüner Wald im Talgrund mit einem zu der Zeit trockenen Bachbett (vollkommen unter den Bäumen gelegen). - möglicherweise Osmia oder Megachile!

E. maya n. sp. from the Maya Mountains of Belize is closest to E. quadracies from western Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Panama. E. flinti n. sp. from Oaxaca and E. sulcatistyla n. sp. (originally placed with E. paulsoni from Veracruz) are closest to E. paulsoni, which is limited to Chiapas. Males of Epigomphus are separated most reliability by the form of their abdominal appendages.
