Description

An unusual gynandromorphic individual of Neurothemis tullia is reported from Faridpur District in Bangladesh. The head and thorax, including wings, are clearly bilaterally gynandromorphic. The abdomen is entirely pruinose androchromic with very few light spots left, however the abdominal tip bears female appendages. This unusual combination of gynandromorphism and androchromy is discussed in respect of its possible origin.
