03FF87F37637FF93FF60DA0C01037384.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The easiest character to separate all Brazilian species from Lestes demarcoi is, the male’s cerci. Using this character, males of the new species form a cohesive group with L. falcifer and L. pictus, but in L. demarcoi the cercus is much longer than the length of S 10, compared with the other two species. The paraproct of L. demarcoi is shorter than half the length of the cercus, while in the other two species is longer. In mediodorsal view, the apical portion of the cercus of L. demarcoi is ovoid while in the other two is finger – like. We suggest caution in determining Lestes females when they are collected not associated with males and we suggest the joint use of pectoral color patterns (Fig. 39) with the shape of the basal plates of the ovipositor (Fig. 38) for it. The female of the new species belongs, together with L. minutus, in a group where the posterior and ventral sides of the basal plate of ovipositor are divided in two sections each. Lestes demarcoi differs from L. minutus in having the posterior section of the ventral side smaller than the anterior section.	en	Lencioni, F. A. A., Neiss, U. G., Dutra, S. L., Furieri, K.
