Cymatophlebia longialata

Insecta - Odonata - Cymatophlebiidae

Taxonomy
Libellula longialata was named by Germar (1839). Its type specimen is BSP AS VII 792, an exoskeleton (complete poorly preserved female with four wings outstretched), and it is an impression. Its type locality is Solnhofen (BSPGM Munich coll), which is in a Tithonian lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal lime mudstone in the Solnhofen Formation of Germany. It is the type species of Cymatophlebia.

It was recombined as Aeschna longialata by Germar (1842); it was recombined as Anax longialatus by Hagen (1848); it was recombined as Petalia longialata by Hagen (1862), Scudder (1885); it was recombined as Libellulium longialatum by Schweigert et al. (1996); it was misspelled as Anax longiolatus by Hagen (1850); it was recombined as Cymatophlebia longialata by Deichmüller (1886), Kirby (1890), Meunier (1897), Handlirsch (1906), Carpenter (1932), Ponomarenko (1985), Bechly et al. (2001), Santos et al. (2022).
