Abstract:
A detailed description and illustrations of the larva of Macrothemis inacuta are provided. Larva is similar to M. celeno but can be distinguished by stouter movable hook, and larger lateral spines and dorsal portuberances on abdominal segments 8-9. Larvae were found living in lentic environments, in muddy areas close to the shore, where emerging and floating vegetation was present.
