Table 1.

Screening results split according to screen type. The broad screen includes species from across South America, continental Europe, the Azores and the UK. The UK species included in the broad screen were tested prior to the focused screen and were used as the basis for doing the focussed screen. The focused screen covers coenagrionid species from the UK in greater breadth and depth
