C&rsquo;est un nom tr\u00e8s surprenant pour un Libellulidae et je laisse Fliedner tenter de l&rsquo;expliquer\u2026<br>\u00ab\u00a0La description de Karsch de ce genre de libellulid\u00e9 ne mentionne pas du tout Macromia. Peut-\u00eatre que, comme pour le genre Macrothemis de Hagen, la dent des griffes a conduit au nom [les griffes en bas, pr\u00e8s du milieu, avec une dent distincte]. Mais il est \u00e0 noter que la seule esp\u00e8ce sur laquelle Karsch a bas\u00e9 ce taxon pr\u00e9sente une certaine similitude superficielle avec le genre Macromia : elle poss\u00e8de des ailes longues et \u00e9troites, une couleur principale sombre et brillante avec des marques jaunes (verd\u00e2tres), le thorax est vert m\u00e9tallique sombre (pour Macromia, voir Wildermuth &amp; Martens 2019 : 540-542). Quoi qu&rsquo;il en soit, avec sa longueur totale d&rsquo;environ 30 mm, c&rsquo;est un libellulid\u00e9 plut\u00f4t petit.\u00a0\u00bb<br>Il faut savoir que les sp\u00e9cimens d\u00e9crits par Ferdinand Karsch en 1890 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 captur\u00e9s entre 1887 et 1888 (par Dr. Paul Preuss, un botaniste et explorateur allemand qui a beaucoup travaill\u00e9 au Cameroun \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque). Leur couleur, en collection depuis 2 ou 3 ans, n&rsquo;avait sans doute pas grand-chose \u00e0 voir avec celle du vivant. De plus, le m\u00e2le que nous avons observ\u00e9 \u00e9tait vieux, couvert d&rsquo;une pulv\u00e9rulence grise, la femelle, tr\u00e8s jeune,  plus proche de la coloration des Macromia.<br><strong>Zygoptera<\/strong>, du grec zygo, qui signifie <em>un joug<\/em> ou une <em>paire homog\u00e8ne,<\/em> et de <em>ptera<\/em> pour <em>aile<\/em>.
