Further notes on the specific characters of Calicnemia Strand, with a key to the males and remarks on some larval forms (Zygoptera: Platycnemididae)

Following the introduction, the systematic part deals with the male sex of all 14 spp, and sspp. presently known of this mainly continental Asiatic genus. These are re-defined, illustrated, and arranged in an elaborate descriptive key. The latter includes the characters of 3 new taxa, viz. C. sinensis sp, n. (China), C. carminea sp. n. and C. c. pyrrhosoma ssp. n. (Nepal and NW India, resp.). The females of all taxa (3 of which are still unknown), will be fully treated on a later occasion, although the characters of a few species are here also included. At the end of the systematic part, 2 recently named Indian taxa are placed in the synonymy, or as species incertae sedis. The last chapter contains brief notes on.the geographical distribution of the genus, which are followed by an illustrated discussion of the known larval forms of Calicnemia.
