An almost cosmopolitan species out of Kurope, although 
its claims to be considered European rest solely upon a 
single reputed British specimen of very doubtful origin (cf. 
M‘Lachlan, Ent. Monthly Mag. xx. p. 256, April 1884).

One specimen from the Philippines exactly agrees with N. 
elegans. A second is reddish brown, nearly to the pterostigma, 
which is reddish, the tips of the wings and the whole border 
of the hind wings being hyaline. 
The best authorities regard the three forms of Neurothemis 
here mentioned as hardly entitled to the rank of distinct 
species.
