Eight species of the genus Prodasineura Cowley, 1934 are recorded from Vietnam, including two newly described species: Prodasineura lancastrei sp. nov. and P. kong sp. nov. from north and central Vietnam. All species recorded are illustrated, including figures of morphological structures, and distribution maps and keys to the males and females are provided. We consider the record of P. laidlawi (Forster in Laidlaw, 1907) a misidentification and exclude it here.
A checklist of 49 damselfly species from 12 families (Odonata: Zygoptera) recorded from Kon Ka Kinh National Park is provided. A first description of the female Protosticta socculus Phan & Kompier, 2016, is given. Burmargiolestes cf. laidlawi Lieftinck, 1960 and three apparently new species, two Coeliccia and one Protosticta species, are recorded, all of which are to be described in the future.
The changes in coloration with age in males and females of Coeliccia mattii Phan & Kompier, 2016 from the Central Highlands of Vietnam are documented. Immature forms have extensive yellow markings on the thorax and S9 is yellowish, while in the fully mature male form, the thorax is largely black and covered in pruinosity and S9 is completely black. S9 is yellowish in the immature female while S9 is black in the fully mature female.
The first known Odonata records from the Cham Islands, off Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam are presented based on a brief collecting period in late September 2015. A total of 25 odonate species (8 Zygoptera and 17 Anisoptera) were recorded. Illustrations of the detailed structures of some species are provided.

The genus Megalestes Selys, 1862 in Vietnam, with first description of female of Megalestes australis Karube, 2014 (Odonata: Zygoptera: Synlestidae)
Abstract: The male secondary genitalia and the caudal appendages of males and females of the three confirmed Vietnamese Megalestes species (M. australis, M. haui and M. micans) are figured. The female sex of M. australis is described for the first time.

Odonata checklist from Son Tra Nature Reserve, Da Nang city, central Vietnam
Abstract: A checklist of 44 odonate species (21 Zygoptera and 23 Anisoptera) from Son Tra Nature Reserve, central Vietnam is provided. Idionyx thailandica Hämäläinen, 1985 is recorded for the Vietnamese fauna for the first time, a new Coeliccia sp. is awaiting description in the near future, and the taxonomic status of specimens of the genus Leptogomphus remains unsettled and will have to be solved in the future.
During three field trips in 2009-2010 to Xuan Son National Park in Phu Tho province in northern Vietnam, a total of 13 species of damselflies of the superfamily Calo-pterygoidea were recorded. These records are documented here with field photo-graphs of living damselflies. Observations on their biology and behaviour are also noted. Three of the species are reported from Vietnam for the first time: Rhinocypha arguta, an undescribed Matrona species and Vestalaria miao. The last species was first found in Huu Lien Nature Reserve in Lang Son province in June 2008.
During three field trips in 2006 and 2010 to Cuc Phuong National Park in northern Vietnam, a total of 19 anisopteran taxa was recorded. The most interesting records are documented here with field photographs of living specimens or collection material. Observations on their biology and behaviour are also noted.
A record of male and female specimens of Sinolestes editus Needham, 1930 collected in Dak Hro village (14°19'45'' N, 108°24'23'' E, alt. 1,420m a.s.l.), Dak Roong Commune, K’Bang District, Gia Lai Province, Central Highlands of Vietnam is present with a detailed description of the morphology of these two specimens.
