Talk:Anax ephippiger

Hemianax or Anax

The only references in the article both point to Hemianax being the former genus. Wikispecies also puts it in Hemianax but IUCN uses Anax. Which is it? I plan to move it back to Anax if there are no strong references supplied. Dger (talk) 01:18, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

From IUCN: "This species, formerly included in the genus Hemianax, is increasingly included in the genus Anax. As no genetic investigation is available, this remains controversial."

So I guess there's no consensus. I added that info to the article. --Exonie 18:54, 18 September 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Exonie (talk • contribs)

One sentence, seventeen words. Really? The blurb for the day's featured picture is usually much longer than that. I am RedoStone (talk) 00:02, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
