Somatochlora exuberata is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in eastern Russia, northern China, Korea, and Hokkaido, Japan. [3] [4]
The species was described in 1910 by Aleksandr Bartenev, based on a series of specimens collected in 1909 in what is now the Zabaykalsky Krai province of Russia. [5]
The species is split into two valid subspecies:
Somatochlora, or the striped emeralds, is a genus of dragonflies in the family Corduliidae with 42 described species found across the Northern Hemisphere.
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.
The brilliant emerald, Somatochlora metallica, is a middle-sized species of dragonfly. It is the largest and greenest of the Somatochlora species; 50–55 millimetres (2.0–2.2 in) long.
Somatochlora elongata, the ski-tipped emerald or ski-tailed emerald, is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora filosa, the fine-lined emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora franklini, the delicate emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora hudsonica, the Hudsonian emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora tenebrosa, the clamp-tipped emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora cingulata, the lake emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Somatochlora forcipata, the forcipate emerald, is a species of emerald dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in North America.
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Bartenev was a zoologist, professor, Doctor of Biological Sciences, and Rector of Rostov University in 1920–1921. He was active in the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union.
Somatochlora shennong is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It was described in 2014 based on specimens from Hubei, China, and is also known from Guangxi. It occurs at narrow ditches with dense emergent vegetation. It is related to two other east Asian species: Somatochlora dido and Somatochlora taiwana.
Somatochlora daviesi is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It was first described in 1977 based on specimens from Meghalaya, India, and is also known from Nepal and Bhutan. It resembles the east Asian S. dido in its small size and lack of yellow markings on most of the abdomen. Like other species in the genus, S. davisi is predominantly dark metallic brown to green. The formerly recognised Somatochlora nepalensis is now considered to be a synonym of S. daviesi.
Somatochlora dido is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is known from southeastern China and northern Vietnam, but populations in Vietnam may alternatively represent a separate, undescribed, species. S. dido has sometimes been treated as synonymous with S. taiwana from Taiwan, but more recent publications have treated them as separate species. S. shennong is also closely related.
Somatochlora viridiaenea is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. The species was described in 1858 by American entomologist Philip Reese Uhler based on a female specimen from Hokkaido, Japan. It has also been recorded on Honshu and in eastern Russia.
Somatochlora uchidai is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is native to Japan, China and Russia. It was described in 1909 by German entomologist Friedrich Förster based on specimens from Japan; the name uchidai refers to the Japanese odonate researcher Uchidas from whom Förster received the specimens.
Somatochlora taiwana is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is endemic to Taiwan, and is the only member of the genus Somatochlora found there. It is a metallic green to black dragonfly with yellow spots, and measures about 35 mm long. It is closely related to S. shennong and S. dido, and is sometimes treated as conspecific with the latter species.
Somatochlora shanxiensis is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is a metallic green to black dragonfly with yellow spots and a total length of 51 to 53 mm. It was described in 1999 based on specimens from Shanxi, China, and has also been recorded in Hubei. It is most similar to Somatochlora graeseri and Somatochlora uchidai.
Somatochlora lingyinensis is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It was described in 1979 based on a specimen from Lingyin in Zhejiang, China. No other specimens are known.
Somatochlora graeseri is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is found in Asia, where it occurs in Japan, Korea, northern China, and Russia.
