Based on circumstantial evidence, Neuragrion mysticum Karsch, 1891 is considered a junior synonym of Heteropodagrion sanguinipes Selys, 1885. Annotated wing scans for H. sanguinipes and Mesagrionleucorrhinum Selys, 1885, species originally compared to N. mysticum, are provided.

Résumé

Nous apportons l'évidence que le Neuragrion mysticum Karsch, 1891 n'est qu'un synonyme nouveau du Heteropodagrion sanguinipes Selys, 1885. Nous présentons et commentons des illustrations, prises avec l'aide d'un scanner, des ailes de l'H. sanguinipes et du Mesagrion leucorhinum Selys, 1885, espèces avec lesquelles le N. mysticum avait été originalement comparé.
