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.
The survey is based on specimens held at Museums in Australia, Belgium and Germany. Altogether 487 specimens of 31 species from Timor were examined. These include: a recent collection from TimorLeste of 148 specimens (25 species) at the Australian Museum Sydney, an historic collection from West Timor consisting of 338 specimens (20 species) of the excollection Eugène Le Moult, stored at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique in Brussels, and a single specimen from West Timor of the Coll. Ris stored at the Senckenberg Naturmuseum Frankfurt, Germany. The following nine species are reported from Timor for the first time: Agriocnemis pygmaea, Austroallagma sagittiferum, Ischnura heterosticta, Xiphiagrion cyanomelas, Crocothemis servilia, Neurothemis ramburii, Orthetrum pruinosum cf. schneideri, Potamarcha congener and Zyxomma obtusum. The female of Anax georgius is described and illustrated. An illustrated key to the Anax species of the Lesser Sunda Islands is given and specimens from the Lesser Sunda Islands formerly identified as Anax gibbosulus are considered to be Anax panybeus. Some characters of the Orthetrum pruinosum taxa group of species, Tramea stenoloba and female Zyxomma obtusum are discussed. Figures of the male appendages and genital ligulae of Austroallagma sagittiferum, Aciagrion fragile and Xiphiagrion cyanomelas are provided, as well as figures of the male secondary genitalia, appendages and the penis of Trithemis lilacina and the male appendages of Epophthalmia vittigera. A preliminary checklist for Timor including 36 species is given.
Neu angelegte Kleingewässer werden oft durch Libellen rasch als Lebensräume in Anspruch genommen. Allerdings ist über die dauerhafte Bildung von Populationen, vor allem durch seltene und gefährdete Arten, noch wenig bekannt. Ziel dieser Studie war die Untersuchung des Besiedlungsprozesses von künstlich angelegten Gewässern durch Libellen mit besonderem Fokus auf moortypische Arten. In den Jahren 2015–2018 wurden in der Niederschlesischen Heide an sechs solchen Gewässern, drei neuen und drei alten, Exuvien von Großlibellen (Anisoptera) quantitativ aufgesammelt. Die Erfassung des Besiedlungserfolges durch Kleinlibellen (Zygoptera) erfolgte qualitativ als Zusatzinformation zur Artenvielfalt der Gewässer. Insgesamt waren 26 Libellenarten – 9 Zygoptera und 17 Anisoptera – bodenständig. Allerdings variierte der Artenreichtum deutlich sowohl zwischen den Gewässern als auch den Untersuchungsjahren, so dass sich keine klar definierten Unterschiede in der Artenvielfalt zwischen den neuen und alten Gewässern erkennen ließen. Unter der bodenständigen Arten wurden vier moortypische Großlibellen (Aeshna juncea, Leucorrhinia dubia, L. albifrons, L. pectoralis) nachgewiesen. Ununterbrochene Entwicklung ließ sich nur für A. juncea und L. dubia in einzelnen Gewässern bestätigen. Leucorrhinia albifrons kam nur sporadisch vor und wurde im letzten Untersuchungsjahr (2018) nicht mehr gefunden. Dagegen vollendete L. pectoralis ihre Entwicklung erst in den Jahren 2017–2018. Generell bevorzugten diese Arten Gewässer, in denen die Vegetation mäßig bis gut entwickelt war. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass künstliche Gewässer durch ein breites Spektrum von Arten erfolgreich besiedelt werden können. Allerdings ließ sich die dauerhafte Reproduktion in den jeweiligen Gewässern nur für wenige Großlibellen nachweisen. Deshalb sind die Gewässer in der Niederschlesichen Heide nicht als langfristige Ersatzbiotope, sondern vielmehr als temporäre Fortpflanzungsbiotope von Individuen der Nebenpopulationen zu sehen.
A small collection of Odonata from Nuku Hiva Island, Marquesas Islands is presented. It adds Anax guttatus as a new species to this oceanic group. Hemicordulia sp. nov. is reported, but not described because the same species has been sampled before and is pending a formal description. A short taxonomic discussion on observed morphological similarity of male anal appendages in taxa presently assigned to Amorphostigma, Hivaagrion and Ischnura east of New Caledonia is provided. Important considerations for biogeography of the Pacific Odonata are discussed too.
In this paper, 47 specimens of dragonflies and damselflies collected by H. Lindberg and his assistant S. Panelius in the Cape Verde Islands in 1953-1954 and identified by K.J. Valle and K.F. Buchholz, are presented. The damselfly Agriocnemis exilis Selys, 1872, collected in Boa Vista Island in February 1954, is added to the list of Odonata known from the archipelago. The collection also includes specimens from another damselfly, Ischnura senegalensis (Rambur, 1842), which was previously recorded in Cape Verde on only two occasions, in 1898 and 2000.
Sympetrum fonscolombii is for the first time reported for Tuva (Tyva Republic, Russia), as found in the UbsuNur Depression. New data are provided on Odonata of the Turan or TuranUyuk Depression of Tuva, including the first record of Somatochlora exuberata in Tuva beyond the Todzha Depression and Coenagrion armatum, C. ecornutum, Aeshna juncea, A. grandis, Somatochlora graeseri and Libellula quadrimaculata for the first time reported for the Turan Depression. New distributional data and comments on Ophiogomphus spinicornis Selys, 1878 are added. Somatochlora alpestris found at Lake Oyskoe is for the first time reported for the southern Krasnoyarskiy Kray.
Phnom Kulen is a small and low plateau in the northern Cambodia still partly covered with evergreen forests and isolated from similar habitats by the Cambodian Lowland at least for 60 km. A preliminary checklist of its Odonata is provided, including 97 species. Burmagomphus sp. cf. willamsoni and Macromia callisto are for the first time reported for Cambodia.
The Odonata fauna of flat marshy areas of the Gulf of Siam coast in Koh Kong Province of Cambodia, containing 55 species, is considered. The published data of 2010- 2013 and new data of 2014 and 2016 on the surroundings of Koh Kong town are compiled and the first data on the area of large swampy Melaleuca forests at Andoung Tuek village are presented as well as some occasional photographic records. Gynacantha bayadera, Lyriothemis mortoni and Pornothemis serrata were for the first time recorded for Cambodia. Mortonagrion falcatum was found unexpectedly abundant at Andoung Tuek.
More Odonata found at the Cardamonean foothills in Koh Kong Province of Cambodia in 2014-2018
(2018)
Still unpublished data on Odonata of the coastal foothills of the Cardamom Mts. in Koh Kong Province, SW Cambodia obtained in 2014-2018 are provided. Tetrathemis flavescens Kirby, 1889 is for the first time reported for Cambodia and Risiophlebia guentheri Kosterin, 2015 for SW Cambodia. The photographic records from this area of Gynacantha basiguttata Selys, 1882, Gynacantha demeter Ris, 1911, Heliaeschna crassa Krüger, 1899, Amphithemis curvistyla Selys, 1891 and Pornothemis serrata Krüger, 1902 have been confirmed by specimens. The known local faunas of two neighbouring rivulets in Koh Kong Province, rich in Odonata, are updated and summarised.
In the period 18th – 31st May 2017, 33 localities were examined for Odonata in the Central Zagros area of Iran: 16 in Markazi Province, 14 in Lorestan Province and 3 in Esfahan Province; in 27 of those localities Odonata were found, 25 species in total. For Markazi Province, only one species, Calopteryx splendens, was previously reported (and also found by us), so of 17 species found there 16 are formally new provincial records (Epallage fatime, Lestes barbarus, Coenagrion ornatum, C. persicum, Enallagma cyathigerum, Ischnura elegans, I. intermedia, I. pumilio, Platycnemis kervillei, Anax imperator, Anaciaeschna isoceles, Caliaeschna microstigma, Libellula depressa, Onychogomphus lefebvrii, Orthetrum brunneum, Sympetrum fonscolombii). Of 17 species
found in Lorestan, 5 are new for this province (L. barbarus, Aeshna mixta, Orthetrum taeniolatum, Sympetrum arenicolor, S. striolatum). Only two species were seen in Esfahan Province, in which little time was spent. Notes on variation and taxonomy are provided for Sympecma paedisca, C. ornatum (considered to be a senior synonym of C. vanbrinkae because of variation in the presumed main diagnostic character), E. cyathigerum, I. elegans, Gomphus schneideri (including discussion of G. amseli), as well as notes on habitats of most species and the general characteristics of the area.
