Erythrodiplax unimaculata, also known by its common name white-tailed dragonlet is a species from the genus Erythrodiplax.[1]

Description

This species has wings with brown tips, but female samples often only have basal spots on the wings. Forewings can have a yellowish shadow. For the hind wings the red-yellow color is somewhat more widespread, diffuse anteriorly and not very sharp up to the 1st antenodal transverse artery and on or a little over the transverse artery of the submedian space [2]

Taxonomy

Erythrodiplax unimaculata was first described by Charles De Geer in 1773.[3] Monophyly has not yet been determined[4]

Range

Observation of Erythrodiplax unimaculata have been documented in Brazil ,[2][5] Colombia[6] and Peru.[4] Observations aggregated in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility suggest a more wide spread range in the northern have of South America.[3]
