   Naturalists who are familiar with spreadwing damselflies <\/strong>might keep a look-out in British Columbia for <\/p>\n

Archilestes californicus<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong>  <\/strong> This is a new species for Canada.  I have just been notified via<\/em> Dr Rob Cannings of the discovery of the fourth British Columbia record, in the Osoyoos Desert, by Eckert Cameron.  This is what it looks like:<\/p>\n

Archilestes californicus <\/em>(Odo.: Lestidae)  Eckert Cameron<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   Rob describes it as follows:  Archilestes californicus<\/em> is a very large (4.5-6 cm long) brown spreadwing with a white-striped thorax. The male’s eyes and labrum are blue; the abdomen is brown above with darker areas tinged with green; segs 9-10 are pruinose; the paraprocts are short and parallel, visible from above; the pterostigmas are tan or whitish.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   If anyone thinks he or she sees or has photographed this species in British Columbia, let us know, and I’ll pass it on to Rob if it looks good.  Jeremy Tatum<\/p>\n
