Heteragrion male

In order to get an impression of the appendages, I have added the same photo a few times with photoshop applied in a different way.


I will start with the male.
H. aurantiacum - appendages don't seem to fit...
H. beschkii - appendages don't seem to fit, species seems to have more more slender appendages, with smaller thick base and less bent down at tip.
H. consors - appendages could possibly fit, but seem more curved down on photo, looks very different on photo in Lencioni.
H. dorsale - Thorax pattern could fit, appendages apparently don't fit - tips seem to bend strongly down on photo and go straight up for this species.
H. flavovittatum - Both thorax pattern and appendages don't seem to fit. Abdomen patten fits, but not sure. Abdomen pattern fits.
H. muryense - pattern on Pterothorax doesn't fit.
H. tiradentense - appendages could fit, thorax pattern doesn't seem to fit, but not sure.
