Abstract

Abstract The new species - holotype ♂, Bolivia, Department of Santa Cruz, Nuflo de Chavez Prov., stream 11.8 km E of San Javier (16°17′S, 62°37′W), 16 November 1998, leg. K.J. Tennessen; deposited in El Museo de Historia Natural “Noel Kempff Mercado”, Santa Cruz, Bolivia - has been confused with Acanthagrion ascendens.

A. luteum is synonymized with A. ascendens [new synonymy].
