Abstract

No new information on Crocothemis crocea has been published since its original description in 1918 based on three females from the Philippines. The original description does not discuss differences between C. crocea and other species of Crocothemis and the description itself fits well with C. servilia, a species common and widespread in the Philippines. It is therefore concluded that C. crocea is a junior synonym of C. servilia.
