Abstract

Aeolagrion philipi sp. nov. is described and illustrated (holotype ♂: Bolivia, Santa Cruz department, Ñuflo de Chávez province, pooled tributary of Río San Julián, 5 km SE of San Ramón, 14 xi 1998, leg. KJT, in FSCA). The new species is closely related to A. inca but is distinct in shape of hind margin of prothorax, genital ligula morphology, shape of male cerci, and color pattern of female S8 (dark brown). The female of A. axine is described and a key to the species of the genus is provided.

Resumen

Aeolagrion philipi sp. nov. es descripta e ilustrada (holotipo ♂: Bolivia, Departamento de Santa Cruz, Provincia Ñuflo de Chávez, tributario del Río San Julián, 5 km SE de San Ramón, 14 xi 1998, leg. KJT, en FSCA). La nueva especie está estrechamente relacionada con A. inca, pero se diferencia de ésta par la forma del margen posterior del protórax, Ia morfología de la lígula genital, Ia forma de los cercos masculinos, y el patrón de coloración de S8 de las hembras (marrón oscuro). Se describe la hembra de A. axine y se proporciona una clave para las especies del génera.
