Odonata recorded from northeastern Papua New Guinea including the Bismarck Archipelago in May to July 1997
So far, this species had only been known from two male specimens from the type locality, Lake Paniai of the ‘Wissel Lakes’ group in West Papua, Indonesia (Lieftinck, Faunistic Studies in South-East Asian and Pacific Island Odonata 10 (2015): 1-46 21 1942). The present male specimen from Mount Kaindi near Wau in Papua New Gui-nea was collected at an altitude of ca. 1590 m and represents a considerable ex-tension of the known distribution range. Careful examination of the relevant char-acters (e. g. shape of the appendages, genital morphology, leg coloration, body and wing size) leaves no doubt to the author about the species’ identity. First record for Papua New Guinea.
