Abstract
This study erects a new taxon for Amorphostigma (Fraser, 1925) damselflies inhabiting Tutuila Island, American Samoa and assigns the nomen Amorphostigma kessleri to it. Specimens of both sexes are compared with the two species presently included in the genus: A. armstrongi Fraser, 1925 and A. auricolor Fraser, 1927. The study mentions the preferred generic status of Amorphostigma as discussed in Marinov (2022).
