Donnelly, 1979[1]

Phyllogomphoides insignatus is a species of dragonfly within the genus Phyllogomphoides. It is commonly known as dark-shouldered leaftail.[2] It was first described by Donnelly in 1979,[3] and is found in Panama.[4] This species was formerly only known from this description until the first photo of a living individual was taken and uploaded by an amateur naturalist to iNaturalist in 2019, where it was confirmed by experts to be insignatus.[5]
