Leptobasis
''Leptobasis'' is a small genus of damselfly, damselflies in the family (biology), family Coenagrionidae. They are commonly known as swampdamsels. The genus is neotropics, neotropical and one species, ''Leptobasis melinogaster, L. melinogaster'', has been recorded in Texas. They are slender and the females have very long ovipositors.

Leptobasis Lucifer
''Leptobasis lucifer'', commonly referred to as lucifer swampdamsel, is a relatively long and slender species of narrow-winged damselfly in the genus ''Leptobasis'' found in Central America, southern parts of Mexico, as well as locally in Southern Florida. ''L. lucifer'' prefers swampy woodland habitats, such as cypress swamps and tend to hunt near trees, scanning and hovering around leaves in search for prey. Males have black striping on a green thorax with a bright red patch near the end of the abdomen, whereas females are more variable: ranging from dull greenish brown, to blue and reddish orange, to even green with a blue ring around the abdomen. Adult females of this species have a large ovipositor The ovipositor is a tube-like organ used by some animals, especially insects, for the laying of eggs. In insects, an ovipositor consists of a maximum of three pairs of appendages. The details and morphology of the ovipositor vary, but typical ... and immatures of both ...

Coenagrionidae
The insect family Coenagrionidae is placed in the order Odonata and the suborder Zygoptera. The Zygoptera are the damselflies, which although less known than the dragonflies, are no less common. More than 1,300 species are in this family, making it the largest damselfly family. The family Coenagrionidae has six subfamilies: Agriocnemidinae, Argiinae, Coenagrioninae, Ischnurinae, Leptobasinae, and Pseudagrioninae. This family is referred to as the narrow-winged damselflies or the pond damselflies. The Coenagrionidae enjoy a worldwide distribution, and are among the most common of damselfly families. This family has the smallest of damselfly species. More than 110 genera of the family Coenagrionidae are currently accepted.Integrated Taxonomic Information System (2007)Coenagrionidae retrieved November 4, 2007. Etymology The name may be derived from Greek ''coen'' meaning shared or common and ''agrio'' meaning fields or wild. Characteristics * Usually have a black pattern * ...

Edmond De Sélys Longchamps
Baron Michel Edmond de Selys Longchamps (25 May 1813 – 11 December 1900) was a Belgian Liberal Party politician and scientist. Selys Longchamps has been regarded as the founding figure of odonatology, the study of the dragonflies and damselflies. His wealth and influence enabled him to amass one of the finest collections of neuropteroid insects and to describe many species from around the world. His collection is housed in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. Biography Selys was a wealthy aristocrat born in Paris to Michel Laurent de Selys Longchamps and Marie-Denise Gandolphe. He was educated at home by private tutors and never attended school or university. Nevertheless, he became known as the world's leading authority on Odonata as well as an expert on Neuroptera and European Orthoptera. He was also a leading ornithologist. A Liberal Party representative in the Belgian Parliament, he became Councillor for Waremme in 1846, entered the Belgian Senate in ...
