Description
Uracis siemensi Kirby, 1897
Material. 4♂, 2♀ Base Camp.
Remarks. All specimens have hyaline wings. This species behaves quite differently from its congeners. The males hold territories at small water holes in the forest, close to the creek. They rarely settle, but spend considerable intervalls hovering close to the water surface. A female was laying eggs stabbing its ovipositor into the humid bank some thirty centimeters above water. The movement of the hovering female is some. what reminescent of ovipositing Cordulegaster Leach.
