Peruviogomphus Klots, 1944 View in CoL

Two of the three known species occur in Ecuador; a reared female specimen of an indeterminable species is in the FSCA (Belle 1992a). For species identification, see Belle (1979) and Machado (2005). These medium-sized gom- phids ( Fig. 75 View FIGURE 75 ) occupy small lakes and ponds with muddy bottoms and are infrequently collected.
