Specimens of Neurothemis disparilis Kirby, 1889, N. fluctuans (Fabricius, 1793), N. fulvia (Drury, 1773), N. ramburii (Brauer, 1866), N. stigmatizans (Fabricius, 1775) and N. terminata Ris, 1911, including their subspecies, were studied with the main focus on the morphology of the vesica spermalis, wing maculation, wing venation, abdominal markings and vulvar scales. The results were compared with species descriptions and directly with type specimens where possible. The vesica spermalis, especially the medial process, is useful at least in separating species groups and supports the traditional differentiation methods using wing maculation and venation. The use of other characters in accessing specific status, coupled with known distribution patterns, is discussed. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Neurothemis manadensis (Boisduval, 1835) stat. nov., Neurothemis papuensis (Lieftinck, 1942) stat. nov. and Neurothemis taiwanensis sp. nov. is described (27.5.1998, Kenting, Pingtung County/Taiwan, L. M. Juang leg.; holotype is deposited at Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipeh, Taiwan). The type of Polyneura palliata Rambur, 1842 was rediscovered at MNHN and designated as lectotype; a lectotype for Neurothemis nicobarica Brauer, 1867 housed at NHMW is designated. The holotype of Neurothemis incerta Brauer, 1867 was rediscovered and synonymized with N. ramburii.
Between 2009 and 2016, a total of 174 Odonata species (Tab. 1) have been recorded in the Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, China. 21 of these species are new records for China, and additional 26 taxa have to be described as new to science. Brief comments on selected species refer to morphological characters, distribution and seasonality.
DragonflyIndia Meet 2016
(2017)
A survey of Odonata on the Indonesian island of Belitung is reported. The work of Belitung Biodiversity Observer on Odonata is briefly outlined. Sixty four species were recorded during the survey, including two new records for the island. A checklist of the known odonate fauna, consisting of 105 species, of the island is given in an appendix.

Taxonomical notes on Indolestes Fraser, 1922 (Lestidae, Zygoptera). 1. Indolestes gracilis expressior ssp. nov. from eastern Cambodia
Abstract: Indolestes gracilis expressior ssp. nov. is described by a male from Cambodia, Mondulkiri Province, the river upstream of Buu Sraa Waterfall 12°34’ N 107°25’ E. Another male presumably belonging to this subspecies was illustrated from southern Laos in literature. The new subspecies is characterised by more inflated apical part of the cercus than in earlier known subspecies and is thought to range in plateaux of eastern Cambodia ?and southern Laos, although very rare.
Part 2, Oleg E. Kosterin and Roberto Poggi, page 13-20:
Taxonomical notes on Indolestes Fraser, 1922 (Lestidae, Zygoptera). 2. Indolestes birmanus (Selys, 1891) is bona species
Abstract: The holotype of Lestes birmana Selys, 1891 (currently Indolestes birmanus (Selys, 1891)), housed in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, is examined and depicted
for the first time. Its cerci are not attenuated apically, hence this taxon cannot be a subspecies of Indolestes gracilis (Hagen in Selys, 1862).
Two new subspecies of Hemicordulia tenera Lieftinck, 1930 (Corduliidae) from Cambodia and Thailand
(2015)
Hemicordulia tenera donnellyi ssp. nov. (holotype ♂: Chieng Mai Prov., Kunklang: highway 1009, Restaurant; 16°32.0’ N 98°31.3’ E, 1000 m, 22 v 1996, FSCA) and H. t. vikhrevi ssp. nov. (holotype ♂: Cambodia, Koh Kong Province, ~13 km ENE of Koh Kong, ‘Hemicordulia brook’, 11°39’55’’ N, 103°05’34’’ E, 315 m, 04 xii 2010, RMNH) are described from North Thailand and South-West Cambodia, respectively. The nominotypical H. tenera tenera Lieftinck, 1930 is distributed in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java and Sumatra. Although these three subspecies are genetically very close, they are distinguishable by the relative length and shape of the caudal appendages.
Records of larval rearing in the Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia carried out in 2014 are presented. In total, larvae of 27 species were collected. Larvae of eleven species (22 individuals) were successfully reared out, one individual is currently still being reared. An additional three species were collected right after emergence, with the adult still sitting on its exuvia. Most notable are the samples of Orthetrum borneense, Leptogomphus cf. pendleburyi, Coeliccia cf. nemoricola 1, Coeliccia cf. nemoricola 2, Heliocypha biseriata and Elattoneura analis whose final instar larvae are undescribed.
A catalogue of 1257 persons commemorated in the scientific names of extant dragonflies (Odonata) is presented together with brief personal information on each entry, typically the full name and year of birth and death (in case of a deceased person). Each individual has a list of the available species, subspecies, genus or subgenus names erected in his or her honour. A total of 1928 available eponymous species-group and 54 genus-group names are listed. These figures include also synonyms and homonyms. It was calculated that of the ca 8400 available species-group names in extant Odonata, ca 23 % are eponyms. Of the 933 new species-group names introduced from 1 January 1995 to 10 March 2015, as many as 42.9 % are eponyms.
