New records of Odonata from Kelantan, Malaysia, with a checklist of species recorded from the state
(2017)
We report here the results from field trips to collect Odonata in the central and northeastern parts of Kelantan state, Peninsular Malaysia. Sixty eight species were collected, and 15 of these are new records for the state. Interesting species collected include Euphaea masoni Selys, 1879 and Leptogomphus tioman Choong, 2016. A checklist of the Odonata recorded from Kelantan with a total 131 confirmed species is given in an appendix.
The results of a short collecting trip to Kedah in the northwest of Peninsular Malaysia, made in September 2016, are reported. 64 species were collected, 13–14 of these are new records for the state and 28–29 are new records for the mainland of Kedah. A checklist of the Odonata recorded from Kedah (including Langkawi Island) is given in an appendix. At least 126 species of Odonata are now known from the state.
We report here the results from field trips to collect Odonata in the northeastern parts of Kelantan state and the north of Terengganu state, Peninsular Malaysia. Eighty four species were collected, and four of these are new records for the state Kelantan and 10 are new records for the state of Terengganu. Notable records obtained from the field trips were Euphaea masoni, Coeliccia sameerae, Pseudagrion ?lalakense, Leptogomphus tioman and Macromia cupricincta. Checklists for Kelantan (140 species) and Terengganu (132 species) are given in an appendix.
Records of Odonata collected in Gunong Mulu National Park in Sarawak are presented. Between 2005 and 2019, in 12 surveys that lasted between one week and five months, 163 species were collected. The collections from Gunong Mulu National Park are of importance for the taxonomic study of dragonflies and damselflies in Borneo; several species have been described based on material collected in the Park.
