Ghana - Hadrothemis infesta (Karsch, 1891)

Nous n'avons eu qu'une seule brève rencontre avec cette femelle Hadrothemis infesta, Libellulidae.

Ghana - Hadrothemis infesta (Karsch, 1891)

We only had a single brief encounter with this female Hadrothemis infesta, Libellulidae. Karsch (1891 a) described several Hadrothemis under the genus Thermothemis the same year, but created a new genus for this one, Archiclops (1891 b). However, in the very same document, and just before, he created the genus Hadrothemis for Kirby's Orthetrum camarense.
