Harpoon Clubtail (Phanogomphus descriptus) is an elongate species of clean, clear streams and small rivers, with sand deposits. P. descriptus is primarily northeastern in distribution, with the core of its range to the north of Maryland (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, it is known from a handful of locations in Garrett County (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). There is also evidently a specimen record from Baltimore Co. in the Smithsonian collection. This species is ranked as S1 (highly state rare)-S2 (state rare).

Phanogomphus descriptus, the harpoon clubtail, is a species of clubtail dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is found in eastern North America.[1][2]
Phanogomphus was formerly considered to be a subgenus of Gomphus, but phylogenetic studies have resulted in its promotion to genus rank.[3]
