  Ozark Clubtail

  Gomphurus ozarkensis is a clubtail dragonfly endemic to the south-central United States. Described in 1975, it occupies a restricted four-state range spanning southeastern Kansas, eastern Oklahoma, western and northern Arkansas, and southern Missouri. The species exhibits geographic variation across three distinct subpopulations separated by watershed boundaries. Its limited distribution has prompted conservation concern.
