Amberwing (Perithemis sp. nov.)

A dragonfly without a name greeted us at the jungle pond we visited at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica on 15 July 2017. Clearly an amberwing, this dragonfly has yet to be described by entomologists. Our guide, Dennis Paulson, was aware of this creature’s existence. He commented that scientists just haven’t gotten around to publishing a name or description.
