Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae,[2] commonly called the Eurasian Bluets (although three species are found in North America: Coenagrion angulatum, Coenagrion interrogatum, and Coenagrion resolutum[3]). Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.[4]

Species

The genus Coenagrion includes the following species:[5][6][7]

  • Coenagrion aculeatum Yu & Bu, 2007
  • Coenagrion armatum (Charpentier, 1840) – Norfolk Damselfly[4] or Dark Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion angulatum Walker, 1912 – Prairie Bluet[9]
  • Coenagrion australocaspicum Dumont & Heidari, 1996
  • Coenagrion caerulescens (Fonscolombe, 1838) – Mediterranean Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion chusanicum Navás, 1933
  • Coenagrion dorothaea Fourcroy, 1785

  • Coenagrion hastulatum Charpentier, 1825 – Northern Damselfly,[4] Spearhead Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion holdereri (Förster, 1900)
  • Coenagrion hylas (Trybom, 1889) – Siberian Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion intermedium Lohmann, 1990 – Cretan Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion interrogatum (Hagen in Selys, 1876) – Subarctic Bluet[9]
  • Coenagrion johanssoni (Wallengren, 1894) – Arctic Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion lanceolatum (Selys, 1872)
  • Coenagrion lunulatum (Charpentier, 1840) – Irish Damselfly,[4] Crescent Bluet[8]
  • Coenagrion lyelli (Tillyard, 1913) – Swamp Bluet[10]
  • Coenagrion melanoproctum (Selys, 1876)
  • Coenagrion mercuriale (Charpentier, 1840) – Southern Damselfly,[4] Mercury Bluet[8]

  • Coenagrion persicum Lohmann, 1993
  • Coenagrion ponticum (Bartenef, 1929)
  • Coenagrion puella (Linnaeus, 1758) – Azure Damselfly[4]
  • Coenagrion pulchellum (Van der Linden, 1823) – Variable Damselfly[4]
  • Coenagrion resolutum (Hagen in Selys, 1876) – Taiga Bluet[9]
  • Coenagrion scitulum (Rambur, 1842) – Dainty Damselfly,[4] Dainty Bluet[11]
  • Coenagrion syriacum (Morton, 1924) – Syrian Bluet[12]

Biology

Thermal adaptation

This genus's capacity for phenotypically plastic responses to the surface air temperature is important to species' ranges.[13] These thermal responses will also decide a great deal of these species' responses to climate change.[13] Nilsson-Örtman et al., 2012 find a high degree of thermal adaptation in high latitude populations of Coenagrion.[13] They found similar plasticity even for various sympatric species at the same locations, and despite the highly variable weather at such latitudes.[13]
