Amphiagrion (Red Damsels)

Restricted to North America; the only damselfly genus in BC whose adults are red in both sexes. Adults are robust, with stubby abdomens and short legs; they have a prominent tubercle on the underside of the thorax. The larvae have the hind corners of the head pointed and turned outward. There are only two species, one eastern and one western.
