Status
Uhler's Sundragon (Helocordulia uhleri) is a small emerald of rocky streams and creeks, similar to Selys's Sundragon, but with orange basal spots on the wings. This dragonfly utilizes small, rocky brooks in forest to larger rivers, provided there is moderate current. The males fly beats up and along the banks at about knee-level (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, this species has been recorded from the ridge-and-valley region, with an isolated record from central Maryland in the coastal plain (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). The species is on the watch list (ranked as S3).
