Macromia

Macromia is a genus of large dragonflies in the family Macromiidae.[2] Species of the genus Macromia are commonly known as river cruisers from their habit of cruising long distances along river banks. Most species occur in the tropical Australasian region, with one species being found in Europe (Macromia splendens),[3] and a few species occurring in North America.[4]
