	Megalestes Riccii ''Megalestes riccii'' is a species of damselfly in the genus ''Megalestes ''Megalestes'' is a genus of malachite in the damselfly family Synlestidae The Synlestidae are a family of damselflies commonly known as sylphs or malachites. ''. In China, ''Megalestes riccii'' is only known from four localities, but the species is widespread and locally common in montane forested regions of central and northern Taiwan, including several extensive, protected forested areas. The extent of occurrence for this species is large (EOO is larger than 400,000 km²). The species is therefore assessed as Least Concern. References Synlestidae {{Damselfly-stub ...

picture info	Damselfly Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica. All damselflies are predatory insects; both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, bu ...

The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a single portal. Data available through the GBIF portal are primarily distribution data on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes for the world, and scientific names data. The mission of the GBIF is to facilitate free and open access to biodiversity data worldwide to underpin sustainable development. Priorities, with an emphasis on promoting participation and working through partners, include mobilising biodiversity data, developing protocols and standards to ensure scientific integrity and interoperability, building an informatics architecture to allow the interlinking of diverse data types from disparate sources, promoting capacity building and ca ...
