Details
Status
Eastern Least Clubtail (Stylogomphus albistylus) is the smallest species of gomphid in North America, shorter in overall length than many damselfly species. This miniature clubtail prefers clear, rocky streams or rivers with decent current, and a sandy or rocky bottom (Paulson, 2011). In Maryland, Eastern Least Clubtail is found over a wide range. It is considered rare on the eastern shore of the coastal plain, while it is generally uncommon elsewhere in the state (Richard Orr's The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Maryland and the District of Columbia).
Description
The conspicuous white cerci distinguish this species from both species of Lanthus.
