Oklahoma Clubtail

Gomphus oklahomensis

Visually, this appears to be a reasonable Oklahoma Clubtail. See Abbott's Plate 36d. And the geographic distribution fits.

Abbott (202) writes that "The face is pale green and the vertex dark brown. The thorax is grayish green, with a dark middorsal stripe that widens as it approaches the collar ... The pale middorsal [abdominal] stripe is nearly continuous in females and tapers to a point on each segment in males."

This is one of BugGuide's Oklahoma Clubtails.
