The changes in coloration of the abdomen from greenishyellow with black markings in live specimens to reddishbrown with black markings in the ZSI specimens could be a result of preservation
The current range extension of Anax panybeus on Great Nicobar Island is due to the proximity of the Nicobar group of islands to Sumatra of Indonesia, all part of the Sunda biodiversity hotspot
