[edit] Query taxonomy

This list appears to be incomplete, omits species, (I put in isoceles), and has some wrong names. Blue Darner is an American species, A. multicolor, and I don't think it's a synonym of cyanea.

Why is the list alphabetical, and not in taxonomic order like other animal articles. (I've only written one dragonfly article, so i don't know enough to fix this myself). jimfbleak 07:21, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

List of species brought into line with International Dragonfly Fund [1] and US common names to USGS-Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center [2]. The following were REMOVED:

• A. brevistyla : now Adversaeschna
• A. coerulea : trivial synonym of A. caerulea
• A. cyanida : apparently a mistake for cyanea
• A. deffini : apparently a mistake for diffinis
• A. furcifera : synonym of A. multicolor
• A. isoceles : now Anaciaeschna
• A. ornithocephala : now Polycanthagyna
