Summary, in English

We isolated and characterised 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci for the blue-tailed damselfly Ischnura elegans by screening a genomic library enriched for microsatellite motifs. The loci showed high variability for the number of alleles, and the expected and observed heterozygosities, and thus will be useful for future molecular studies. Cross-amplification in

I. graellsii, I. ramburii and I. pumilio showed that the majority of the microsatellites also produced polymorphic products in these species.
