Minagrion ribeiroi
Minagrion ribeiroi is a damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae (order Odonata), recorded as Critically Endangered and tied to Brazil.
The damselfly
Dragonflies and damselflies are aerial predators as adults and aquatic predators as nymphs. Both stages need unpolluted water.
An insect has six legs and, in winged forms, one or two pairs of wings. Most named species in this catalog are known from a type series and a locality, not from a popular field guide.

Minagrion ribeiroi is recorded from Brazil.
GBIF currently lists 22 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
