Calopteryx intermedia is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. [1] [2] [3]
These three subspecies belong to the species Calopteryx intermedia:
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies but are usually smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. Damselflies have existed since the Late Jurassic, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Calopteryx is a genus of large damselflies belonging to the family Calopterygidae. The colourful males often have coloured wings whereas the more muted females usually have clear wings although some develop male (androchrome) wing characteristics. In both sexes, there is no pterostigma.
Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly called the Eurasian Bluets. Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.
Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis is a species of damselfly in the family Calopterygidae known by the common names copper demoiselle and Mediterranean demoiselle.
Calopteryx aequabilis, the river jewelwing, is a species of broad-winged damselfly. The species was first described by Thomas Say in 1839. It is one out of the 170 species of the Odonata found from northeastern Alberta to Newfoundland and southward in most of northern part the United States.
Calopteryginae is a subfamily of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are about 17 genera and more than 160 described species in Calopteryginae.
Mnais is a genus of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are about 15 described species in Mnais.
Calopteryx cornelia is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx hyalina is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx japonica is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. It is found in East Asia.
Calopteryx laosica is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx melli is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx orientalis is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx samarcandica is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Calopteryx taurica is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. As of 2023, it is treated as a subspecies "Calopteryx splendens taurica" Selys, 1853.
Calopteryx transcaspica is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.
Allocnemis montana, formerly Chlorocnemis montana, is a species of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is found in Malawi and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are rivers and freshwater springs.
Allocnemis pauli is a species of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, and freshwater springs.
