The Larva of Neurocordulia Xanthosoma (Odonata: Corduliidae)
Abstract
The larva of Neurocordulia xanthosoma (Williamson) is most similar to the larvae of Neurocordulia obsoleta (Say) and Neurocordulia virginiensis Davis. The most prominent differences from both of these other species are the larger size, 7 or more palpal setae, lower dorsal abdominal hooks, and a more elongate abdomen. The larvae of N. xanthosoma live in the crevices of logs in slow streams and lakes and crawl 0.1 to 4.0 m above the water line on any available support to emerge as adults just before dawn. N. obsoleta is deleted from the Oklahoma fauna.Downloads
