One of the greatest obstacles to biodiversity conservation is the lack of information to prioritize efforts on Received practical actions. This lack of information comes mainly from May 31, 2019 absence of inventories in many areas where few groups have reasonably complete databases. The distribution of the dragonfly Accepted August 29, 2019 fauna of Brazil is little known - only 29% of the Brazilian territory presents data about the richness of Odonata. In this contribution, Available on line a database of Odonata species of Santa Teresa Municipality was August 30, 2019 built, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The database has 627 specimens registered, 77 species distributed in eight families and Released thirty-eight genera, forty of these species are common, one August 31, 2019 endemic of the State of Espírito Santo, and nineteen endemic of Brazil. In relation to the measure of conservation, four species are present in the category Insufficient Data (DD), one present in the Open Access Nearly Endangered (NT) category, three species in the Vulnerable category (VU) and one in the category In Danger (EN). Twenty- five species are considered new occurrences for the city. These results suggest that the fauna of the studied region deserves attention and points to the interest in implanting future conservation units in the region of Santa Teresa municipality.

Esta Diego Pereira falta de informação vem principalmente da ausência de 0000-0001-6031-8940 inventários em muitas áreas onde poucos grupos têm bancos de Karina S. Furieri dados razoavelmente completos. A distribuição da fauna de libélula no Brasil é pouco conhecida - apenas 29% do território brasileiro apresenta dados sobre a riqueza de Odonata. Nesta contribuição, foi construído um banco de dados de espécies de Odonata do Município de Santa Teresa, Estado do Espírito Santo, ISSN 2359-1412/RBGAS-2019-0037/2019/6/13/16/481 Rev. Bras. Gest.

O banco de dados possui 627 exemplares registrados, sendo 77 espécies distribuídas em oito famílias e 38 gêneros, sendo 40 destas espécies comuns, uma endêmica do Estado do Espírito Santo e 19 endêmicas do Brasil. Em relação à medida de conservação, quatro espécies estão presentes na categoria Dados Insuficientes (DD), uma presente na categoria Quase Ameaçada (NT), três espécies na categoria Vulnerável (VU) e uma na categoria Em Perigo (EN). Foram consideradas 25 espécies como novas ocorrências para a cidade. Estes resultados sugerem que a fauna da região estudada merece atenção e apontam o interesse em implantar futuras unidades de conservação na região do Município de Santa Teresa.

Here we describe the territorial and courtship behavior of Chalcopteryx scintillans McLachlan, an Amazonian damselfly with shiny copper-colored hind wings. Territorial behavior consists of aerial contests, when males engage in threat displays and mutual pursuits in ascending and rocking flights. During courtship, males hold their coppery hind wings still while hovering with their forewings, showing the hind wings to females, which hover in front of the male in response. After copulation, the male exhibits the courtship flight again by hovering over the oviposition resource (i.e. fallen tree trunk) on the stream. The females oviposit on the trunk while the males guard them by perching near and hovering around them con- stantly. We also present behavioral notes on reproductive and oviposition behavior, and comments on the differentiation between C.

The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with edjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2.

ArgiadifficilisSe\y$ has been deleted from the Honduran list because it is thought not to occur in Central America, and was confused with A. oculata Hagen (R. W. Garrison, pers. comm.). The list below includes 54 more species for a total of 147. Of the new records, 5 extend the known ranges of species southward and 4 extend ranges northward. Paulson (1982) listed 54 other species which occur both north and south of Honuras, and therefore can be expected in that country. While the records of Odonata givenhere are of interestfor purely scientific reasons, they should also be of interest as base line * Entomology and Nematology Department, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, 32611.
