摘要
The generic names Afroaeschna, Pinheyschna and Zosteraeschna are introduced for 3 groups of Afrotropical dragonfly species, traditionally assigned to the paraphyletic taxon Aeshna. The phylogenetic relationships of these monophyla which are not immediately related to each other are discussed. The Ethiopian populations of Pinheyschna gen. n. are described and characterized as a new sp. (Pinheyschna waterstoni). Zosteraeschna ellioti (Kirby, 1896) and Z. usambarica (Forster, 1906) are regarded as distinct species. Only synonymy, information on status (if feasible) and distribution are given for the remaining species of the group, and a preliminary key to the adults of all but one species is presented.
