Status
This species has yet to be found in Maryland, but is listed in some documents. It was misidentified from a cast skin a few years ago. Adults were reared and it turned out to be an unusual Rusty Snaketail (R. Orr, pers. comm.). This species page will be retained, but it is hidden on the Odonata checklists.
