I originally had these identified as Allopeas gracile but their stockier profile left me unsure. In going back through some material and using The Subulinidae of Florida (http://www.freshfromflorida.com/content/download/10697/140473/ent305.pdf), I think they are this species. This is based on their more squat profile, size, and distinct axial sculpture.

Weird costa rican color female. Incredible location found by @dvollmar . I saw no confirmable males or heteromorph females but two regular andromorph females and two blue tipped females. There was also a very bright green one (much brighter green than the others) with a green tip to the abdomen I was unable to sex or photograph because it moved too quickly into the underbrush where I lost it. All of these were flying at about eye level, maybe a foot above or below, very slowly but constantly moving so they were hard to keep track of. Since these looked so different from how the normal FL lucifer swampdamsels look, I added an extra pic of the terminal segments and it's a perfect match with the terminal segments of the normal lucifer swampdamsels. The blue tipped females were noticeably shorter than the red tipped ones with a less spindly looking abdomen. They also had two small black spots on top of s9 which were not present on the red tipped ones. Forgot to take a screenshot of the exact location, but every single one I saw is definitely somewhere in this red circle.
