Asahina had a male and depicted it well in his paper on Thai Gomphidae issued 27 years ago, but did not name it since he has only one half-broken specimen. We in fact only added missing details and named it after Asahinai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390418611126522107.post-71222005569836088032013-10-07T07:22:54.013-07:002013-10-07T07:22:54.013-07:00Hi Oleg.

It seems more common than before (there are a few people who have seen it now). Maybe it was previously confused with Burmagomphus divaricatus until it was described. It is very similar (as you know). Now people are aware of it, we know that it exists, I suppose haha. Take care and speak soon, Dennis<br /> <br />Dennis Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701639261464979300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390418611126522107.post-14284409961020389842013-10-04T21:35:36.006-07:002013-10-04T21:35:36.006-07:00Great!

I need to travel great distances to find new species and I have no money (or time) to do it. Things will change soon and I WILL find new species. Hehehe. Keep up the fantastic work, Sebastien.

I am going again to Nam Nao town ... near to where I have just been but with more open streams and some tiny forested streams ... if I pick up 1 or 2 new record species I will be jumping for joy ... as too if I reach 180 this year! Though a planned trip to Chiang Mai in October will hopefully help!<br />Thanks again, André<br /><br />DennisDennis Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701639261464979300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390418611126522107.post-86409069010870573962013-06-18T04:09:56.553-07:002013-06-18T04:09:56.553-07:00Thanks Dennis,

(you can buy it in fishing shops) <br />Please keep going on, you are the number 1 contributor for S-E Asia dragonflies images on the web. Very useful resource for all of us ! <br />I hope you will reach 180 species this year!<br /><br />André<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390418611126522107.post-73043273074911470252013-06-17T06:24:40.122-07:002013-06-17T06:24:40.122-07:00Hi André
Many thanks for your comments!
I agree ...Hi André<br /><br />Many thanks for your comments! <br />I agree 100% that I should always catch and photograph the appendages. Unfortunately, I travel great distances on my small motorbike and it's not always possible to carry a net ... this time was one of them. I do, however, try to photograph the appendages - this one was too skittish and flew away before I had the chance to do so! I've added some low quality shots of the appendages (cropped). Hopefully these will help. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />DennisDennis Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701639261464979300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1390418611126522107.post-74107844680730352772013-06-16T19:24:58.721-07:002013-06-16T19:24:58.721-07:00Hi Dennis,
