Abstract

A heterospecific tandem between a male Aeshna affinis Vander Linden, 1820 and a female Aeshna cyanea (Müller, 1764) is reported from İğneada (Longos Forest) in Kırklareli province in the Turkish Thrace Region. The locality, where the tandem was observed, is the second recording locality for A. cyanea from the region
