Garrison made major contributions in finding current species names for the Selys' names and provided reference to other experts for consultation. For those Selys' names, that are not linked to current species names, additional information and possible species names are suggested. The Selys' names are classified in the four sous--familles of Selys: Calopterygines, Cordulines, Gomphines, Aeschnines. [ ] no name
Calopterygines[ ] (Ca21a) [ ] (Ca21b).

Other illustrations of this species are the watercolour of Calopteryx atrata (Ca34b) and the drawing of a wing of Calopteryx atrata (Ca 133a). Current name (expert opinion) is Atrocalopteryx atrata (Selys, 1853).biforata (Ca170a). This drawing refers to Heliocypha biforata (Selys, 1859), described by Selys as Rhinocypha biforata in 1859 (personal communication, Hämäläinen, 29 November 2015).
