description: Oligoclada Karsch, 1890
The main reference for this genus is Borror (1931); see also Geijskes (1948) and Rehn (2003). Oligoclada ranges over most of South America north of Paraguay, with nine species in Ecuador. They are small, dark dragonflies (Fig. 105) that inhabit small streams, backwaters of streams and adjacent swamps, canals, ponds and man-made reser- voirs. Only two of the 23 species have been reared.
