6E04C03BFFECFFD2FF73841D6368F91D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis of the last stadium larva of E. abjecta. Erythrodiplax abjecta differs from most of the other known larvae of Erythrodiplax by the presence of 3 – 4 spines in the prementum – palp articulation, a character shared with E. basifusca; E. berenice (Drury); E. bromeliicola; E. connata; E. corallina, E. laselva; E. minuscula (Rambur); E. naeva (Hagen); E. nigricans (Rambur); E. pallida (Needham) and E. umbrata (Linnaeus). From these species, only E. basifusca, E. bromeliicola, E. connata and E. minuscula share with E. abjecta the presence of one seta on each crenulation of labial palp, but E. connata is easily separated by the absence of lateral spines on abdomen. Erythrodiplax abjecta differs from the latter group of species by having the smallest prementum max. width / max. ratio Ẽ 1.05.	en	Palacino-Rodríguez, Fredy, Rache-Rodríguez, Leonardo, Castillo, Daniel R.
