[edit]I removed Perithemis mooma from the article, as The World Odonata List, GBIF, and the Catalogue of Life say that it's a synonym of Perithemis tenera. However, it's on the IUCN Red List as a separate species, so I'm a little conflicted. Chess enjoyer (talk) 22:10, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- In case anyone reads this and gets curious, I found the paper that determined that the two species were the same.[1] The "species" was assessed in 2019, and the paper came out in 2020, so that explains the discrepancy. Chess enjoyer (talk) 23:52, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
