 Comment Error identification is a Palpopleura lucia f. Lucia, no doubt. (Cf. This publication --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 17:08, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Ah! I can see what has happened. I trust my copy of Warwick & Michele Tarboton's Field Guide to the dragonflies of South Africa. Pages 58/59 describe my female mimic as Palpopleura lucia portia, not Palpopleura lucia lucia. But I see that Palpopleura portia is now defined as a separate species. I will change scope of male and females. Charles (talk) 12:24, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
