Thermorthemis
Thermorthemis is a genus of dragonflies belonging to the family Libellulidae. The only known species in this genus is Thermorthemis madagascariensis, which is native to Madagascar. It was first described by the entomologist Jules Pierre Rambur in 1842. This species is part of the Odonata order, known for comprising dragonflies and damselflies, which are important predators in their ecosystems, helping to control populations of smaller insects. Over time, Thermorthemis madagascariensis has been synonymized with other names, such as Libellula madagascariensis and Donzella madegassa. Its presence contributes significantly to the biodiversity of Madagascar’s ecosystems, reflecting the island's unique biological heritage. The species is cataloged and studied in resources like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), which provides comprehensive data on its occurrence and classification
