About Crocothemis divisa (Karsch), 1898

Crocothemis divisa, first described by Karsch in 1898, is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. Its common name is rock scarlet. It is widespread across most of tropical Sub-Saharan Africa, and its natural habitats are pools and streams located in woodland and bush. Occasionally, individual dragonflies of this species can disperse as far south as South Africa and Namibia, with only one recorded occurrence of the species documented from each of these two countries.
