The Odonata found during work on the Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function in Tropical Agriculture (BEFTA) Project in Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia are reported. Prior to the BEFTA project we are only aware of published records of 37 species of Odonata from Riau Province (these are listed in an appendix). Seventy five species have been recorded during the BEFTA project, including five that have not (Archibasis incisura, Archibasis rebeccae and Pseudagrion williamsoni), or not definitely (Argiocnemis species and Mortonagrion species cf aborense), been recorded in Sumatra before. Macromia dione is recorded for the first time since its description. The number of species now known from Riau Province is 88; 51 of these are reported from the province for the first time here.
Records of Odonata from Gunung Melatai, Nanga Gaat and the Kastima Logging area, all in Sarawak’s Kapit Division, are presented. The most notable records are of Matronoides cyaneipennis Förster, 1897 and Heliogomphus blandulus Lieftinck, 1929. A distribution map for Matronoides cyaneipennis and updated distribution maps for three species from the Coeliccia borneensisgroup are given. Tentative identifications to species of previously published records of Idionyx females are given. The genus Heliogomphus in Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore is reviewed and a simple one marker molecular analysis is presented for the genus in this region. Based on reexamination of specimens from the genus and the molecular results, an additional member of the genus is reported from Borneo: H. sp. cf olivaceus Lieftinck, 1961. Although both morphological and molecular results remain incomplete, it does appear likely that there is at least one more species of Heliogomphus present in Borneo than has been recognised until now, and that H. borneensis Lieftinck, 1964 may be a junior synonym of H. kelantanensis (Laidlaw, 1902).
Records of Odonata from the southwest of Sri Aman Division and the extreme east of Serian Division in Sarawak are presented. The sampled areas are interesting not only because they are poorly known for Odonata but also because many are just to the south and west of the Lupar Line which is a division between the ancient Sunda shelf and more recent geological formations. Differences between the odonate faunas on either side of the Lupar Line are discussed. Eightyfive species of Odonata were recorded during the surveys reported on. The single most notable record is that of Coeliccia southwelli Dow & Reels, 2011, which represents a considerable extension to the known range of this species. Other interesting records include Telosticta dupophila (Lieftinck, 1933), T. species cf longigaster Dow & Orr, 2012, Podolestes parvus Dow & Ngiam, 2019 and Heliogomphus species cf olivaceous Lieftinck, 1961. Variation in the markings of Stenagrion dubium (Laidlaw, 1912) across its range is discussed and a gene tree using the COI marker is presented to illustrate the high variability of this species in this marker. However the variability in COI does not appear to be correlated with other characters.
Records of Odonata from Sarawak's Bintulu Division are presented. One hundred and sixtysix (or more) species are listed, of which three (Oligoaeschna amata (Förster, 1903), O. buehri (Förster, 1903) and Oligoaeschna (?) species) had not previously been recorded in Sarawak and Macromia species cf dione Lieftinck, 1971 had not previously been recorded from Borneo. Additionally this is the first published record of Prodasineura tenebricosa Lieftinck, 1937 from Sarawak, although it had been found at another location in the state prior to its discovery in Bintulu, and the first published record of Phyllothemis raymondi Lieftinck, 1950 from Borneo, although specimens from Kalimantan are present in the collections of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden. Other notable records include "Elattoneura" longispina Lieftinck, 1937, Pericnemis dowi Orr & Hämäläinen, 2013, Linaeschna polli Martin, 1909, Burmagomphus arthuri Lieftinck, 1953, Heliogomphus borneensis Lieftinck, 1964, Merogomphus femoralis Laidlaw, 1931, Chlorogomphus species, Macromidia genialis erratica Lieftinck, 1948 and Tetrathemis flavescens Kirby, 1889. Altogether there do not appear to be any previous published records from Bintulu Division of 52 of the species listed in this paper. The status of Rhyothemis fulgens Kirby, 1889 is discussed and illustrations of its anal appendages and those of R. pygmaea (Brauer, 1867) are provided. Illustrations of the anal appendages of Tetrathemis hyalina Kirby, 1889 and T. irregularis Brauer, 1868 are also provided. Identification problems when using COIbased DNA barcoding with some species of Archibasis are discussed, and the nuclear marker ITS is shown to be a successful alternative in these cases; COI and ITS gene trees for part of the genus are included. Some COI data for Macromia species are published and the marker is used to identify larvae of M. corycia Laidlaw, 1922 and establish the relationship of another Macromia larva with M. dione, a very poorly known species from Sumatra. Macromia euterpe Laidlaw, 1915 is considered to be the same species as M. westwoodii Selys, 1874 and dropped from the list of species known from Sarawak, however formal combination of the two species is left for a peer reviewed publication. A detailed list of previously unpublished specimens from the locations covered is given in an appendix. Concise checklists for two of the locations covered Similajau National Park (54 species) and the Bukit Mina Wildlife Corridor (84 species) are given in another 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.
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.
Previously unpublished records of Odonata from the states of Negeri Sembilan and Selangor in Peninsular Malaysia are presented. One hundred and eight species are listed, of which 77 were collected in Negeri Sembilan and 87 in Selangor. Fifteen of the species recorded from Negeri Sembilan and seven of those recorded from Selangor appear to be first records for the respective state. Notable records include Drepanosticta sp. cf hamadryas Laidlaw, 1931, Rhinocypha pelops Laidlaw, 1936, Acrogomphus ?malayanus Laidlaw, 1925, Heliogomphus kelantanensis (Laidlaw, 1902); Onychogomphus duaricus Fraser, 1924, Macromia cupricincta Fraser, 1924, Idionyx montana Karsch, 1891, Chalybeothemis chini Dow, Choong & Orr, 2007 and Hylaeothemis clementia
Ris, 1909 Ris, 1909. Provisional checklists of the Odonata known from Selangor plus the
Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur (171 species) and for Negeri Sembilan (116 species)
are given in appendices.
Odonata recorded during two brief sampling trips to the Kapit Town area in Kapit Division, Sarawak in 2020 are reported on. Seventy nine species were recorded, of which at least six (Onychargia atrocyana Selys, 1865, Ischnura senegalensis (Rambur, 1842), Pseudagrion lalakense Orr & van Tol, 2001, Megalogomphus borneensis (Laidlaw, 1914), Agrionoptera insignis (Rambur, 1842) and Hydrobasileus croceus (Brauer, 1867)) are first records for the division, bringing the total number of Odonata known from the division to 160. Notable records include Coeliccia kenyah Dow, 2010, Teinobasis laidlawi Kimmins, 1936, Burmagomphus insularis Laidlaw, 1914, Leptogomphus sp. cf coomansi Laidlaw, 1936 and Macromia callisto Laidlaw, 1922. Remarks are made on the habitat preferences of Agrionoptera insignis and Camacinia gigantea (Brauer, 1867). A highly atypical population of Neurothemis Brauer, 1867 (species unclear at present) is reported.
