From the article Onychogomphus supinus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Range & habitat
This species may be restricted to southern Africa (Eswatini, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe). Records from elsewhere in Africa (Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Senegal) are doubtful, due to taxonomic uncertainty. The form found in Senegal has been described as Onychogomphus supinus xerophilus. The species is widespread, and has been assessed as Least Concern in southern Africa and as Data Deficient in West Africa.
