Bornéo – Libellago stictica (Selys, 1869) – English version

Selys first described Libellago stictica male (Chlorocyphidae) as a supposed race of Micromerus stigmatizans, 1859 (1), then as Micromerus sticticus in 1869 (2). The genus Micromerus is now extinct. It was MA Lieftinck who in this document (3), and adhering to Fraser’s proposal, united all of Selys’ Micromerus in the genus Libellago.And Selys was not mistaken, Libellago […]

Selys a d’abord décrit Libellago stictica (Chlorocyphidae) comme une race supposée de Micromerus stigmatizans,1859 (1), puis comme Micromerus sticticus en 1869 (2).

Borneo – Ictinogomphus acutus (Laidlaw, 1918) – English version

Ictinogomphus acutus male (1) is finally an Ictinogomphus that does not pose any identification problems; it should be remembered that this is not the case elsewhere in Asia, where Ictinogomphus decoratus (present in Borneo), rapax (here in Thailand) and pertinax (here in Vietnam) pose a problem and are awaiting revision, because many of us now think that they constitute

Borneo – Coeliccia nigrohamata (Laidlaw, 1918) – English version

Coeliccia nigrohamata male is part of a genus of Platycnemididae that currently includes 80 members in Asia, including 15 in Borneo, all endemic. Nine species were described in Asia in 2020, and others will certainly be added to the list.It immediately made me think of C. octogesima, which I encountered in 2013 in Peninsular Malaysia, for
