A unique egg-strand in Procordulia grayi (Selys) (Anisoptera: Corduliidae)

The New Zealand endemic corduliid P. grayi has been found to produce an egg-strand, the first record of this behaviour in a southern hemisphere dragonfly. The egg-strand is produced into running water by the dragonfly at rest, and differs significantly in structure from that reported in the few northern hemisphere spp. which have egg-strands.
