Mantled Baskettail (Epitheca semiaquea) is named for the large basal dark patches on the hind wings. Common Baskettail often shows similar markings, but they are normally less extensive. This dragonfly is found along much of the Atlantic coastal plain at vegetated sandy ponds or lakes (Paulson, 2011). Mantled Baskettail is considered historic in Maryland, with one record from Prince George's County in the 1950s (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). Due to the lack of recent records, it is currently considered to be extirpated.
