This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tennessen, Kenneth J. (2024): Gomphomacromia signata sp. n. from the Andes Mountains in Ecuador (Odonata: Synthemistidae). International Journal of Odonatology 27: 19-25, DOI: 10.48156/1388.2024.1917256, URL: doi.org/10.48156/1388.2024.1917256 Abstract. Gomphomacromia signata sp. n. is described and illustrated based on a single male collected in Napo Province, Ecuador.

The new species is distinct from its closest congener, G. fallax McLachlan, 1881, by having a pair of vivid yellow spots on the postfrons, a large isolated yellow spot on the anterolateral part of the mesepimeron, forked yellow stripes on the metepisternum and metepimeron, dark spots in the wing bases, epiproct as wide distally as basally, and minute details of the posterior hamules.
