Resumen

DE MARMELS J. 2001. Sympetrum paramo check for this species in other resources sp. n. (Odonata: Libellulidae) de los altos Andes venezolanos, con una clave para las especies de Sympetrum check for this species in other resources Newman, 1833 presentes en Venezuela. Entomotropica Vol 16(1):15-19.

La descripción ilustrada de la especie nueva se basa en cuatro machos y una hembra (holotipo ♂ Venezuela: estado Mérida, Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada, Páramo El Tisure, Laguna Tisure, 3 650 m, 29.xii.1994; MIZA). Caracteres de valor diagnóstico son la primera banda lateral blanca del tórax, única desarrollada, las tibias oscuras y el patrón variado de negro y amarillo del abdomen. Una clave para todas las especies del género Sympetrum presentes en Venezuela permite la identificación de los adultos. Se confirma la diferencia a nivel de especie entre S. illotum (Hagen) y S. gilvum (Selys). Para ambas especies se presentan ilustraciones de sus estructuras más importantes.

Abstract

DEARMELS J. 2001. Sympetrum paramo check for this species in other resources sp. n. (Odonata: Libellulidae) from the Venezuelan high Andes, with a key to the species of Sympetrum check for this species in other resources Newman, 1833 found in Venezuela. Entomotropica Vol. 16(1):15-19.

The new species is described and illustrated on the basis of four males and one female (holotype ♂. Venezuela: Mérida State, Sierra Nevada National Park, Páramo El Tisure, Laguna Tisure, 3 650 m, 29.xii.1994; MIZA). Diagnostic characters are the strongly developed first white lateral thoracic stripe, the dark tibiae and the checkered abdominal pattern. A key to adults of all species of Sympetrum found in Venezuela is provided. The difference at the species level between S. illotum (Hagen) and S. gilvum (Selys) is confirmed and illustrations of important features of both are given.
