Abstract

The name Lestes dryas Kirby, 1890, is potentially threatened by its senior objective synonym, Agrion forcipula Charpentier, 1825. The purpose of this publication is to reverse their order of precedence preserving the current widespread usage of the junior name in accordance with Article 23.9.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
