[The first new species page for a couple of years following Covid-19 lockdowns.]
This was our first encounter with any odonata on our July 2022 safari trip to Botswana and Zambia. I feel somewhat thrilled to have found what seems to be a relatively thinly recorded species. These were all on the Cubango River near Shakawe in northwest Botswana on the side of the Okavango Delta.
