Description

Oxyallagma Kennedy, 1920

One of the two known species of this genus is found in Ecuador. Adults are relatively small but stocky and are patterned with red (Fig. 28). See Kennedy (1939b) and Bota-Sierra (2014a) for identification and diagnoses. Habitat includes lakes and ponds in the La Sierra region.

Phoenicagrion von Ellenrieder, 2008

One of the three described species known in this genus occurs in Ecuador and an apparently undescribed species has recently been collected in the country. Adults are mid-sized with a reddish-orange thorax devoid of black stripes, and the sides of the thorax have oblique blue stripes resulting in a unique color pattern (Fig. 29). They occur near lowland forested pools. For identification use von Ellenrieder (2008).
