[Odonata-l] Gynochromatypic Male Enallagma hageni

[Bryan Pfeiffer]

Greetings,

Here's an aberrant Enallagma hageni from northeastern Vermont on 2Jul2006:

I'm wondering if a male this blue is actually considered gynochromatypic. 
Or is this typical for a gynochromatypic male Enallagma? The metepimeron 
does show a hint of pale green (although it doesn't show up that well in 
the image).

Regards,
Bryan Pfeiffer
