Cordulegaster virginiae sp. nov. is described based on eight adults (7 males, 1 female) collected in cloud forest in municipalities of Banderilla and Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The new species is compared with adults of C. diadema Selys, 1868. All the structural differences between both species are located on the abdomen. Cordulegaster godmani McLachlan, 1876 is considered a junior synonym of C. diadema. The larva of C. diadema is redescribed and illustrated in detail based on reared material.
新物种弗吉尼亚大伪蜻(Cordulegaster virginiae sp. nov.)是根据在墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州班德里亚市和哈拉帕市云雾森林中采集的八只成虫(7只雄性,1只雌性)描述的。将该新物种与1868年赛利斯描述的冕大伪蜻(C. diadema)的成虫进行了比较。两个物种之间所有的结构差异都位于腹部。将1876年麦克拉克伦描述的戈德曼大伪蜻(Cordulegaster godmani)视为冕大伪蜻的次异名。基于人工饲养的材料,对冕大伪蜻的幼虫进行了重新描述并详细绘图。
