Dysphaea haomiao Hämäläinen, 2012 (Fig. 12e–f) Dysphaea haomiao: Hämäläinen (2012), pp. 305–311, Figs 1, 2, 4, 5. [Vietnamese specimens from Cao Bang Prov. included in the ‘non-type’ material]; Hämäläinen et al. (2015), p. 452 (distribution records). Materials examined. [Vietnam] 1♂, Ha Giang Prov., 1.VII.2014, T. Kompier leg. (TKC); 2♂, Suoi Cun, Cao Bang Prov., 20.V.2015, Q.T. Phan leg. (PQTC). Other materials confirmed by field observations. [Vietnam] Some individuals, Cao Bang Prov., VI.2014, V, VI.2015, T. Kompier; Some individuals, Quang Binh Prov., IV, V, VI.2016, V, VI.2017, T. Kompier. 1♂, Thua Thien-Hue Prov., 14.V.2017, T. Kompier. Notes. Fully mature males of Dysphaea haomiao can be separated from all Dysphaea species by their wholly black wings (Fig. 12e). In semi-mature specimens, the wings are dark brownish; they are therefore difficult to separate from those of mature D. gloriosa (Hämäläinen pers. comm.). Females are similar to Dysphaea gloriosa in body color pattern, but have all pale metepimeron (Fig. 12f). In Vietnam, Dysphaea haomiao was previously recorded only in Cao Bang Prov., northern Vietnam (Hämäläinen 2012), which is close to the border with China. Distribution. Vietnam (Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Binh Provinces), China (Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces) (Hämäläinen et al. 2015).Published as part of Phan, Quoc Toan, Kompier, Tom, Karube, Haruki & Hayashi, Fumio, 2018, A synopsis of the Euphaeidae (Odonata: Zygoptera) of Vietnam, with descriptions of two new species of Euphaea, pp. 151-190 in Zootaxa 4375 (2) on page 170, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4375.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115844
