Hi black

Nice shots

The first one is Crocothemis erythraea (male)

Second seems to be Orthetrum brachiale, but a careful examination of genitalia should be made as it is closed to Orthetrum stemmale. (male) It can't be Orthetrum julia, this species do not occur in Madagascar! This species is only known from Anjouan island in Comoro archipelago, and I have discovered it on Moheli island last november.

Third is a juvenile female of Orthetrum hintzi.

Forth is a juvenile male of Trithemis lateralis formerly known as Trithemis selika, the second name is only a synonim following the rules of zoological nomenclature.

If u have other dragonflies pictures, tell me. (from Madagascar or main africa continent.
