Erythrodiplax unimaculata, also known by its common name white-tailed dragonlet is a species from the genus Erythrodiplax. [1]
This species has wings with brown tips, but female samples often only have basal spots on the wings. Forewings can have a yellowish shadow. For the hind wings the red-yellow color is somewhat more widespread, diffuse anteriorly and not very sharp up to the 1st antenodal transverse artery and on or a little over the transverse artery of the submedian space [2]
Erythrodiplax unimaculata was first described by Charles De Geer in 1773. [3] Monophyly has not yet been determined [4]
Observation of Erythrodiplax unimaculata have been documented in Brazil, [2] [5] Colombia [6] and Peru. [4] Observations aggregated in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility suggest a more wide spread range in the northern have of South America. [3]
Odonata is an order of predatory flying insects that includes the dragonflies and damselflies. The two groups are distinguished with dragonflies usually being bulkier with large compound eyes together and wings spread up or out at rest, while damselflies are usually more slender with eyes placed apart and wings folded together along body at rest. Adult odonates can land and perch, but rarely walk.
The true owls or typical owls are one of the two generally accepted families of owls, the other being the barn owls (Tytonidae). This large family comprises 230 living or recently extinct species in 24 genera. The typical owls have a cosmopolitan distribution and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
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.

Nycteribiidae is a family of the true fly superfamily Hippoboscoidea. Together with their close relatives the Streblidae, they are known as "bat flies". As the latter do not seem to be a monophyletic group, it is conceivable that bat flies cannot be united into a single family.
Pantala flavescens, the globe skimmer, globe wanderer or wandering glider, is a wide-ranging dragonfly of the family Libellulidae. This species and Pantala hymenaea, the "spot-winged glider", are the only members of the genus Pantala. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. It is considered to be the most widespread dragonfly on the planet, with good population on every continent except Antarctica, although rare in Europe. Globe skimmers make an annual multigenerational journey of some 18,000 km ; to complete the migration, individual globe skimmers fly more than 6,000 km —one of the farthest known migrations of all insect species.
Somatochlora, or the striped emeralds, is a genus of dragonflies in the family Corduliidae with 42 described species found across the Northern Hemisphere.
The black-collared swallow is a species of bird in the family Hirundinidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is rivers—in particular, "rapids and rocky outcrops stretches of medium and large sized rivers." It forages in the rapids, and nests in rocky outcrops. It is threatened by habitat loss from hydropower dams.
Erythrodiplax is a large Neotropical genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae. These small to medium-sized skimmers are commonly known as dragonlets.
Somatochlora sahlbergi, the treeline emerald, is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found at high latitudes across northern Eurasia and North America, and occurs farther north than any other dragonfly.
Oskar Eric Gunnar Hultén was a Swedish botanist, plant geographer and 20th century explorer of The Arctic. He was born in Halla in Södermanland. He took his licentiate exam 1931 at Stockholm University and obtained his doctorate degree in botany at Lund University in 1937. In his thesis, he coined the term Beringia for the ice-age land bridge between Eurasia and North America. From 1945 to 1961, he was a professor and head of the Botany Section at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. In 1953, he was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as member number 977.
Diphlebia euphoeoides, sometimes spelled Diphlebia euphaeoides, known as the tropical rockmaster, is an Australian species of broad winged damselfly. It is one of a group known as the azure damselflies. It is found in Queensland (Australia) and Papua New Guinea. It typically occurs near lakes, waterfalls or streams at relatively low altitudes, and is occasionally seen near dry pools.
Lyriothemis acigastra or Little Bloodtail is a species of dragonfly in the family of Libellulidae known from India. The International Union for Conservation of Nature also cites very old collections in Burma, China and Tibet.
Nannophyopsis is a genus of small-sized dragonflies in the skimmer family Libellulidae. First described by Maurits Lieftinck in 1935, it consists of two species found throughout the Indomalayan biogeographical realm.
Xylopia parviflora is a species of plant in the Annonaceae family. It is native to Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru and Venezuela. Richard Spruce, the botanist who first formally described the species, named it after its small flowers, though he did not specifically state their size.
Aspisoma physonotum is a species of firefly from the genus Aspisoma. The species were originally described by Henry Stephen Gorham in 1884.
Pterula multifida is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Pterulaceae.
Peperomia turbinata is a species of flowering plant from the genus Peperomia. It was first described by Gustav Adolf Hugo Dahlstedt and published in the book "Kongliga Svenska Vetenskaps Academiens Handlingar 33(2): 88. 1900". The species name came from the Latin word "turbinatus", which means cone-headed.
