Eusynthemis tillyardi - Mountain Tigertail

Male identification: Single pairs of spots of equal size on every abdominal segment. No pale spots at the base of each wing.

Female identification: Markings slightly less bold than male. Abdomen even thickness along its length, lacking any 'pinch-point' near the base.

Similar species: Almost identical to E. tillyardi. Male of E. tillyardi may differ by having spots on segment 9 separate, as opposed to joined in E. guttata. Labrum in E. tillyardi is yellow, compared to dark in E. guttata.
