[Key locator: Key to Group A species, couplet 11 (10’)]

Heteragrion denisye: Vilela et al. 2019b: 589–594 View Cited Treatment (description of ♁ from Minas Gerais state; diagnosis and comparison with the original description of H. obsoletum View in CoL and H. cyane );— Cezário & Guillermo-Ferreira 2021: 78–86 (comparison with H. gorbi and other Heteragrion View in CoL “blue species”).

Material examined. 1♁ (HOLOTYPE) BRAZIL, Minas Gerais state, São Roque de Minas, Serra da Canastra National Park , 25.x.2018, (-20.2323, -46.6085, 1305 m asl), D.S. Vilela, R. Koroiva, V. Nobrega & M. Lera leg., LESTES GoogleMaps .

Known distribution. Brazil (Western Minas Gerais state).

Diagnosis and remarks. Known only from the male holotype, H. denisye is one of the “blue species” of Group A, along with H. cyane and H. gorbi . This paucity of individuals caused it to be assessed as Data Deficient in the IUCN Red List, pending further search of specimens at the type location to evaluate its actual conservation status ( Lozano 2022). The taxonomic placement of H. denisye was extensively discussed in Vilela et al. (2019b) and the following character combination distinguishes this species from the remainder of Group A species: ML ridge almost reaching its apex ( Fig. 30c View FIGURE 30 ); ML formed by a broad plate ( Fig. 30d View FIGURE 30 ); ML apex bilobate, both lobes rounded ( Fig. 30c View FIGURE 30 ).
