description: <i>Coeliccia flavostriata Laidlaw, 1918</i> (Figs 2; 3 a, b; 4 a) <b>Material studied.</b> One F larva, <b>&amp;male;</b> (RMNH.INS. 509691), stream on Gunung Serapi, just outside of Kubah National Park, Kuching Division, Sarawak, Borneo, 1.58943 N, 110.19487 E. 01-vii- 2013, ca 650 m a.s.l., leg. R.A. Dow, in RMNH. <b>Description.</b> In general appearance a small, moderately long-legged zygopteran of light build and typical coenagrionoid appearance (Fig. 2). Post-ocular lobes of head smoothly rounded. Caudal lamellae paddle shaped, with distinct petiole, the central lamella being considerably longer than the laterals (Fig. 4). Coloration overall neutral brown, with darker brown banding on legs and deeper purplish mottling on the caudal lamellae. Body surface relatively smooth, bearing only sparse, very fine setae. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 2), forming roughly a squashed pentagon in outline, with well rounded occipital lobes and a deep rounded excavation posteriorly. Labrum produced and rounded. In dorsal view labial palps and anterior corners of prementum clearly visible projecting beyond labrum and face. Occipital triangle only slightly raised. Antennae long, seven-segmented, final segment very short; segments 2–6 slightly darkened except at base and apex, but not so strongly as to produce a clear pattern. Compound eyes moderately large. Mandibles not evident in dorsal view. Articu- lation of mask almost reaching posterior margin of mesocoxae when retracted. Prementum (Fig. 3 a) flat ventrally, only slightly concave dorsally, with three pairs of long, strong setae seated post medially; in outline broad distally and tapered to a narrow base about one quarter its maximum distal breadth; median lobe (ligula) strongly produced with the two slightly convex sides forming an angle of about 100 °; median cleft absent; lateral margins bearing short strong setae in distal half, bare in basal half. Labial palp long, terminating in a strong ventral curved hook and a dorsal, straight, slightly serrate securiform edge (Fig. 3 c), the two separated by a deep cleft; four long, strong, inwardly directed palpal setae and a rather short movable hook, seated well back from its apex. Mandibles: right mandible incisor with four long, well defined teeth and shorter basal one ventrally; molar field unarmed except for small basal prominence; left incisor similar but left molar field with short, prominent, blunt tooth. Legs, moderately long; femora and tibiae with distinct dark marking and bearing only very fine sparse setae. Wing pads reaching just beyond hind-margin of S 4; unmarked. Abdomen unmarked, smooth, gradually tapered posteriorly. Caudal lamellae clearly dorso-ventrally flattened (arranged vertically), foliate and rounded apically with extensive dark basal marking, mottled around the periphery; median lamella slightly more than half length of abdomen; lateral lamellae (Fig. 4 b) ca 9 / ₁ ₀ length of median lamella; petiole with outer lateral, as well as dorsal and ventral spines. Cerci small and bud-like. Male gonapophyses well developed; extending a little beyond posterior margin of S 9.SpeciesRMNH.CountryLocationBOLD Process <i>Coeliccia campioni</i>503463MalaysiaHose Mountains, Kapit division, SarawakCOBOR001-15 <i>Coeliccia campioni</i>506252MalaysiaBukit Kana, Bintulu division, SarawakCOBOR002-15 <i>Coeliccia campioni</i>500010MalaysiaMount Dulit, Miri division, SarawakCOBOR003-15 <i>Coeliccia</i> <i>campioni</i>500029MalaysiaGunung Mulu National Park, Miri divisionCOBOR004-15 <i>Coeliccia flavostriata</i>501225MalaysiaGunung Serapi, Kuching division, SarawakODOPH251-13 <i>Coeliccia flavostriata</i>509691MalaysiaGunung Serapi, Kuching division, SarawakCOBOR005-15 <i>Coeliccia flavostriata</i>501222MalaysiaKubah National Park, Kuching division, SarawakCOBOR006-15 <i>Coeliccia flavostriata</i>501218MalaysiaKubah National Park, Kuching division, SarawakCOBOR007-15 <i>Coeliccia flavostriata</i>501224MalaysiaKubah National Park, Kuching division, SarawakCOBOR008-15 <i>Coeliccia kenyah</i>503460MalaysiaMount Dulit, Miri division, SarawakCOBOR009-15 <i>Coeliccia kenyah</i>503457MalaysiaGunung Kalulong, Miri division, SarawakCOBOR010-15 <i>Coeliccia borneensis</i>503469MalaysiaMount Dulit, Miri division, SarawakODOPH246-13 <i>Coeliccia didyama</i>503926MalaysiaSekayu Recreational Forest, TerengganuODOPH249-13 <i>Lestes dissimulans</i>500228GhanaODOPH201-13INS. ID Measurements [mm]: Total length (without caudal lamellae) 12.45; maximum width of head 3.68; hind femur 3.70; cercus 0.15; right lamella 4.13; median lamella 3.68. Remark. The larva was found in a small pack of leaf litter between rocks in the stream bed; adult <i>C. flavostriata</i> were moderately abundant at the same site.
