Aeshnidaere elongate with a flat prementum, 6- or 7-segmented antennae, and 3-segmented tarsi. Although body shape is similar among the genera, many aeshnids can be identified to genus in the field based on head shape. Characters that are used to distinguish the genera are head and palpal blade shape, dorsal

Future Research on Dragonfly Nymphs are introduced. The main taxonomic needs are rearing and describing the nymphs of 50 species of Anisoptera that are still poorly known or unknown and using the data to emend the respective identification keys. Fully evaluating nymph characters will advance attempts at integrating morphological and
