Biology:Dicterias
From HandWiki
Dicterias is a monotypic genus of damselflies in the family Dicteriadidae.[1][2] It contains the single species Dicterias atrosanguinea, which is known commonly as the red bareleg. It is endemic to Brazil. It occurs on the banks of the Amazon River.[3]
Etymology
The genus name Dicterias is derived from the Greek δεικτηριάς (deiktērias, "female mime" or "female mimic").[4][5] Dunkle (1991) suggested that Sélys may have chosen the name because he considered the genus to resemble or mimic another damselfly.[4]
