Thoracic coloration in Paragomphus species. A, C. P. alami sp. nov.; B. P. lacustris; D. P. elpidius. Note the mesepisternal stripe of P. alami near the antealar sinus, extending anteriorly toward the head and dividing into two short branches that form Y shape (red arrow). Note also that the thoracic stripes in P. alami sp. nov. are fine and poorly defined, while in P. elpidius they are sharp, bold, and well defined.	Figure 2.

Differences in epiproct shape in Paragomphus males (in lateral view). A. P. alami sp. nov.; B. P. lacustris; C. P. elpidius. The epiproct of P. alami sp. nov. is shorter than in P. lacustris and P. elpidius, its basal section especially being notably abbreviated, more strongly upcurved, and more sharply demarcated from the apical section. Also note the apical teeth of P. elpidius, which are absent in P. alami and P. lacustris.	Figure 4. Differences in epiproct shape in Paragomphus males (in lateral view). A. P. alami sp. nov.; B.

(mirrored). Comparison of female coloration and stripe patterns in Paragomphus species. A. P. elpidius; B. P. alami sp. nov. Note the small foliations on abdominal segments 8 and 9 in P. elpidius, which are absent in P. alami sp. nov. Note also that the thoracic stripes in P. alami sp. nov. are fine and poorly defined, while in P. elpidius they are sharp, bold, and well defined. Also, the pterostigma is yellowish green in P. alami sp. nov., while it is brown in P. elpidius. Photo credits: (A) John Wilkinson, (B) Mohamed Salah.	Figure 6. (mirrored).
