First Record of the Dragonfly Erythemis attala (Selys in Sagra, 1857) (Odonata: Libellulida) for Trinidad, West Indies

Abstract

During a survey at the western edge of Nariva Swamp (10°27’34.7”N, 61°04’27.8”W), a female Erythemis attala (Selys in Sagra, 1857) was photographed. Its presence here in Trinidad therefore suggests that this species is dispersing and expanding its range within the West Indies.
