Lestes bipupillatus Calvert, 1909

Fig. 2 (♂ —App), Fig. 16 (♂ —habitus), Fig. 40 (B— ♀ pectoral color pattern).

Etymology: bipupillatus = bi, Latin for two + pupillatus, Latin for pupil, in reference to the color of the venter of thorax, which has two black, round spots.

Types. Syntypes in CM and MCZ (not examined) .

Larva described. Yes ( Costa & Carneiro 1994).

Material examined. (2 ♂♂): Brazil: Santa Catarina, Nova Teutonia (now Seara), 27º11’00” S & 52º13’00” W, 300–500 m, v.1972, Fritz Plaumann leg.

Distribution. Brazil (Mato Grosso, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina), Venezuela and Argentina.

Diagnostic characters. ♂ —Cercus in lateral view: proximal 3/5 straight with the distal 2/5 expanded and slightly bent ventrally, tip of cercus rounded. Cercus in mediodorsal view: base of cercus with a short distally–directed spine, medial expansion a little larger than the width of the base, semicircular, without spines and with sparse pale hair–like setae. Paraproct in lateral view: subequal to the cercus. Paraproct in dorsal view: long and narrow with a spoon–like tip.

♀ —Basal plate not illustrated in Calvert (1909), pectoral color pattern as in Fig. 40B .
