Details
Status
Appalachian Snaketail (Ophiogomphus incurvatus) is an uncommon to rare inhabitant of Piedmont or mountain streams with a sandy or gravelly bottom. They are often found feeding in open fields near the streams they utilize (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, this species is recorded from four counties, three in the piedmont, and one on the edge of the coastal plain (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
Appalachian Snaketail is ranked as S1 in Maryland, and is considered state endangered. It also has a global ranking of G3 (globally rare/local) due to its restricted range.
