Biology:Rhodothemis
From HandWiki
Rhodothemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae.[1] The species occur from India, through Southeast Asia to Australia.[2]
Etymology
The genus name Rhodothemis combines the Greek ῥόδο- (rhodo, "rosy") and -themis, from Greek Θέμις (Themis), the goddess of divine law, order and justice. In early odonate taxonomy, names ending in -themis were introduced by Hagen and were widely used for dragonflies. The name probably refers to the colour of the male.[3]
