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.

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.
The Cardamom foothills were re-assessed for Odonata in the late dry season of 2015 within E Thailand and SW Cambodia. In the narrow coastal strip of Trat Province of Thailand bordering to Cambodia, 44 species (1 unidentified) were recorded, of which 15, namely Agriocnemis nana, Archibasis viola, Ischnura senegalensis, Pseudagrion microcephalum, P. williamsoni, Acisoma panorpoides, Brachythemis contaminata, Brachydiplax farinosa, Hydrobasileus croceus, Macrodiplax cora, Rhyothemis plutonia, R. variegata, Tholymis tillarga and Trithemis pallidinervis were recorded for Trat Province for the first time. That increased the number of species recorded for the province to 61. Preliminary checklists of Odonata of Ream Peninsula (that is of Ream National Park) and of Koh Rong Island were complied, mostly on the data of this trip, to count 45 species (2 unidentified) and 17 species, respectively. As many as 36 species were recorded at the village of O’Som, Pursat Province. Copera marginipes is added to species recorded from Bokor Hill Station. Superficially similar males of Pseudagrion australasiae and P. microcephalum were observed in the same locality in Ream National Park.

On the Odonata of North Kazakhstan Province. I. First data on Petropavlovsk
Abstract: The fauna of Odonata of the environs of Petropavlovsk, North Kazakhstan, was for the first time examined on two short trips in late June and mid August 2015. Thirty five species were revealed. Coenagrion ecornutum was recorded in Kazakhstan for the first time, Gomphus vulgatissimus the second time and Stylurus flavipes the third time. Range expansion of C. ecornutum is discussed. Comparison is attempted of the known local Odonata faunas of the environs of Petropavlovsk, Omsk and Novosibirsk cities residing at the same latitude in the West Siberian Lowland. The Petropavlovsk fauna is very close to that of Omsk. The earlier published Kazakh records of G. vulgatissimus and S. flavipes are clarified and corrected. Breeding of Aeshna viridis in Ishim River (lacking water soldier) is supposed.

Odonata registered on a short excursion to Kyshtovka District, Novosibirsk Province, Russia
Abstract: During a fourday trip to Kyshotovka District, the most northwestern district of Novosibirsk Province, 21 species of Odonata were recorded. Two significant findings were made: that of Coenagrion ecornutum is most northern in West Siberia, and that of Lestes macrostigma is perhaps the northernmost in its range. The latter species was found over small, shallow, freshwater pools along a roadside. The diversity of this species’ habitats in Siberia in comparison to its uniform habitats at brackish water in Western Europe is discussed.
