Abstract

Pseudagrion emarginatum is removed from the synonymy of P. melanicterum. The following synonymies are established: P. coeruleiceps of P. emarginatum and P. angelicum of P. camerunense. The latter, formerly known as Enallagma camerunense, should be removed from the list of threatened African Odonata.
