Abstract
Neocordulia is a Neotropical genus with 16 species distributed in the South and Central Americas. To date, only seven larvae of this genus have been described. Here we describe the final instar larva of Neocordulia volxemi (Selys, 1874), collected in the Environmental Protection Area of the Uberaba River Basin in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The metallic–green adults were found flying in a forested area in a Conservation Unit, while the larvae were found in a waterfall and surrounding rocky walls. The Cerrado remnant area is currently threatened by degraded pastures and increasing areas of monoculture agriculture.
期刊介绍:
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation (antes Miscel·lània Zoològica) es una revista interdisciplinar, publicada desde 1958 por el Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona. Incluye artículos de investigación empírica y teórica en todas las áreas de la zoología (sistemática, taxonomía, morfología, biogeografía, ecología, etología, fisiología y genética) procedentes de todas las regiones del mundo. La revista presta especial interés a los estudios que planteen un problema nuevo o introduzcan un tema nuevo, con hipòtesis y prediccions claras, y a los trabajos que de una manera u otra tengan relevancia en la biología de la conservación. No se publicaran artículos puramente descriptivos, o artículos faunísticos o corológicos en los que se describa la distribución en el espacio o en el tiempo de los organismes zoológicos.
