在網上Neurobasis longipes的相片幾乎所有都是雄性的.雌性的沒有幾張. 而我這次拍到的也同樣是雄性.
雌性的Neurobasis longipes呢我連看的機會都沒機會看到,不必說拍到相片了. 看來我還要回到Paramat Garden露營多幾次.要耐心的找..要耐心的等.
"...both Neurobasis longipes and Neurobasis chinensis share a common distribution area (Peninsular Malaysia) and have similar morphology, misidentification might occur as it is a very difficult and challenging to build identification keys to separate all Neurobasis species ......"

"... The large damselfly Neurobasis chinensis, conspicuous by its iridescent metallic colors in the male, was the first dragonfly recorded from China in the 10th edition of Linnaeus's Systema Naturae of 1758. It is the most widespread species in the genus Neurobasis. The genus of Neurobasis contains 13 known species, which are all distributed in the eastern tropics of Asia...." Albert George Orr
