 One species occurs in this genus. Grappletails are
large sized dragonflies with a yellow to pale green thorax displaying
wide black shoulder stripes. The abdomen is very thin almost all black
and widest at the tip with a yellow cerci. The wings are clear
with black stigmas and the hind-wing appears wide. This genus is
closely related to the genus Lanthus and Stylogomphus.
Females are quite similar to males, but have a thin yellow line on their
dorsal abdomen and slightly thicker clubs. Males can
generally be found perched flat on rocks, twigs or leaves around
mountain streams and rivers with riffles in woodland areas. |
