236287C500675119C8BEDD823C8DCBDD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Named jeromei (noun in the genitive case) after Jérôme Constant, Hemiptera expert, Direction Taxonomy and Phylogeny and collection management expert at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (IRSNB), for his great contributions to the odonatology, mainly working with the Selys’ collection curation and for helping us many times over the years.	en	Vilela, Diogo Silva, Junior, Manoel Daltro Nunes Garcia, Furieri, Karina S., Lencioni, Frederico A.

236287C500675119C8BEDD823C8DCBDD.taxon	description	Description of holotype Head. Labrum, anteclypeus, postclypeus, antefrons and genae black; two brownish small D-shaped spots (on each side of lateral ocelli); a large transversal pale stripe ranging from the postocular lobes through the occipital area, slightly darker in the occipital area; remainder of the head matte black. Thorax (Figs. 1 c, 2 b, 2 c). Prothorax: anterior lobe pale brown; in dorsal view, medial lobe reddish-brown; hind lobe bluish, nearly straight at the middle, with blunt rounded corners. Pterothorax: black humeral stripe covering upper half of mesepisternum, remainder pale brown. Wings (Fig. 1 c). Hyaline; pterostigma dark brown, rhomboid, occupying nearly one cell; 10 Px in FW, 11 Px in RHW (10 in LHW); RP 2 arising at Px 6 in all wings. Abdomen (Fig. 1 c). S 1 – 2 dorsally dark brown, remainder pale brown; S 3 – 5 light brown dorsally, pale brown laterally, S 6 – 9 dark brown dorsally, pale greenish-brown laterally with black basal rings; anterior portion of S 10 black dorsolaterally, remainder brown. Anal appendages (Figs. 3 c – d). Dark brown; subequal in length to S 10; in lateral view, with a small, dorsal, blunt, medial projection; in dorsal view, distal tooth short, not reaching middle portion of cercus, with blunt tips directed anteromedially. Measurements. TL: 47, AL: 39.4; FW: 23; HW: 22.3. Female. Unknown Variations in paratypes. Overall coloration of one paratype (collected 11. i. 2006) is paler, the light brown in the abdomen of the holotype is replaced by a light green and the black in the labrum, anteclypeus, postclypeus, antefrons and genae is replaced by blue. Size differences compatible with a species that breeds in phytotelmata (TL: 47 – 52).	en	Vilela, Diogo Silva, Junior, Manoel Daltro Nunes Garcia, Furieri, Karina S., Lencioni, Frederico A. A.

236287C500655119C8BEDBA7385ACEAB.taxon	discussion	Remarks and differential diagnosis. What lead us to believe that our material represented a new species was that, before comparing our specimens to the lectotype housed in Belgium, we first compared them to specimens identified as L. andromache from Frederico Lencioni’s Collection in Jacareí, São Paulo State, collected in Bahia. In that comparison, we found that those specimens had significant differences in cercus, hind lobe of prothorax and shape of pterostigma, therefore they are described here as L. jeromei. In regard to overall morphology, the closest species to L. jeromei is L. andromache. Despite their resemblance, there are many structures in L. jeromei that allow us to differentiate these two species (L. andromache in brackets): in dorsal view hind lobe of prothorax (Fig. 2 d) nearly straight at the middle (with a slight cleft, Fig. 2 c), with blunt rounded corners (Figs. 2 b, 2 d) (with thin lateral projections, Figs. 2 a, 2 c); pterostigma rhomboid (Fig. 1 d, below) (quadrilateral, Fig. 1 d, above); cercus in lateral view (Fig. 3 c) with a small, blunt, medial projection (with a more pronounced medial projection, Fig. 3 a); cercus in dorsal view (Fig. 3 d) distal tooth not reaching middle of cercus, blunt tips (distal tooth longer, reaching middle of cercus, acute tip, Fig. 3 b). Apart from the morphology, coloration has also shown to be different among the two species, such as the postocular region with a transversal pale stripe (such stripe absent), and some paler areas in L. jeromei. However, due to the paucity of individuals of L. jeromei, we could not make further statements on coloration according to aging. Habitat and ecology. Leptagrion jeromei was always collected associated with epiphyte bromeliads which indicates that, as the other congeners, this new species also breeds in phytotelmata.	en	Vilela, Diogo Silva, Junior, Manoel Daltro Nunes Garcia, Furieri, Karina S., Lencioni, Frederico A.
