Peruviogomphus Klots, 1944

Two of the three known species occur in Ecuador; a reared female specimen of an indeterminable species is in the FSCA (Belle 1992a). For species identification, see Belle (1979) and Machado (2005). These medium-sized gom- phids (Fig. 75) occupy small lakes and ponds with muddy bottoms and are infrequently collected.
