Abstract
The ultimate larval stadium and the adult female of Aeschnosoma marizae are described and illustrated for the first time. Larval comparison with other known species of the elegans group is given. Reared larvae of both sexes unambiguously attributed to A. marizae differ significantly from the previously described larvae attributed to this species, which probably do not belong to this species.
