This is how new species are found: In southern-Sahara Africa, Aethriamenta rezia is a widely spread species. The small red dragonfly can be found in standing waters in the savannah. It is not very demanding, the main thing is that there is plenty of vegetation. Reeds, rags, floating plants. In the Okavango Delta, I have been able to find the species several times, never very frequent, but regularly. In 2019, my friend and colleague KD Dijkstra has now found a particularly dark form of the species in eastern Angola. According to genetic examination and also morphological details, the new species is very distinctly different from the widespread A. pray. And also in the used habitat, it is very different. The species lives only on very nutrient-poor aquatic waters, often only small puddles on rock or sand floor. Apparently it is only found in a confined area in eastern Angola and western Zambia. Now in December 2022 I have been able to find the type in several places in North West Zambia in the source area of Zambesi. We are currently preparing the re-description of almost 20 dragonfly species from Angola and the neighborhood...
