The larva of the genus paracordulia martin, 1907 (Odonata: Corduliidae s.s.) and a generic key to the larvae of corduliidae s.l. occuring in South America

Abstract

The ultimate stadium of a larva of the genus Paracordulia Martin, 1907 is described and illustrated for the first time. It represents the last New World corduliid larva unknown at the generic level. The reared female differs slightly from other known female specimens, and thus no species name can be assigned to it. A key to the South American genera of corduliid larvae is given.
