Erpetogomphus designatus
Devil's Creek, near Big Bend, Texas, USA
September 13, 2009
Size: 2.5"?
I think this is in Erpetogomphus, maybe E. lampropeltis? My other guess would be Stylurus imbricatus. Thanks for the help. The habitat is riparian mesquite

Compare with the complete antehumeral stripe of Erpetogomphus lampropeltis
