"Described as one of the first dragonflies from Madagascar, the Littoral Pintail Acisoma ascalaphoides (Rambur 1842) was originally misidentified in terms of its type locality and Red List status, until it was rediscovered in 2004 in and around the littoral forest fragments of Mandena and Sainte Luce in south-eastern Madagascar (Mens et al. 2016)."
