Status
Ski-tipped Emerald (Somatochlora elongata) is a northeastern species of emerald, found at higher elevations down the Appalachians. They usually prefer slow-moving creeks and small rivers (Paulson, 2011), but also occasionally in well-oxygenated ponds. In Maryland, there is a single historic record from Montgomery Co. (perhaps a transient), and current records from Garrett Co., where it is considered rare (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia). This species is ranked as S2 (state rare) in Maryland.
