Description: Female Red Arrow, Rhodothemis lieftincki. Turners Flat, NSW, Australia, December 2014. Her wings shows features characteristic of this species. I used Theischinger and Hawking, The complete guide to dragonflies of Australia. Her forewings have more than 9 antenodal crossveins - those short veins coming off the leading edge between the body and the nodus; I count 12 crossveins on the left and 11 on the right. The triangle has a vein across it. The discoidal field - that area beyond the triangle - starts with 3 rows of cells, followed by 2 rows. Her hindwings have the base of the triangle close to the arculus, and the anal loop is obvious.
