In: Ott J (Ed) (2010) Monitoring Climatic Change With Dragonfl ies. BioRisk 5: 127–139. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.5.846 Abstract Th e history of recording and monitoring of Odonata in Britain is briefl y described. Results are then pre- sented which suggest that the country’s Odonata fauna is currently in a period of fl ux, in a manner consist- ent with the actions of a high-level regulatory factor such as climate change. Th e ranges of many resident species are shifting. Leucorrhinia dubia has recently been lost from southern England, but many species are presently expanding their ranges to the north and west, some (such as Aeshna mixta and Anax imperator) with considerable speed. In addition to these changes, a number of ‘southern’ species have started to ap- pear in Britain for the very fi rst time. Th ese include Lestes barbarus, Erythromma viridulum (which has now become a locally-common resident in southeast England), Anax parthenope and Crocothemis erythraea.

    A REVISED, ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF Victorian DRAGONFLIES (Insecta: Odonata) I.D. ENDERS by 56 Looker Road, Montmorency, Victoria 3094, Australia E-mail: [email protected] ENDERS by , I.D. 2010. A revised, annotated checklist of the Victorian dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata). Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria. 122(1): 9-27. ISSN 0035-9211. Seventy-six species of Odonata are known from Victoria (26 Zygoptera; 50 Anisoptera). In the last ten years one new species Austroaeschna ingrid Theischinger, 2008 has been described from the State; Austroepigomphus praeruptus (Selys, 1857) and Pseudagrion microcephalum (Rambur, 1842) have now been recorded; and records of Rhadinosticta banksi (Tillyard, 1913) and Labidiosticta vallisi (Fraser, 1955) are judged to be erroneous. Generic names of Aeshna, and Trapezostigma have been changed. Some changes in higher level names and relationships, based on recent phylogenetic analyses, have been incorporated. Distribution maps for all species, based on museum collections, are provided. Key Words: Odonata, Zygoptera, Anisoptera, Victoria, Australia, checklist, Hemiphlebia IN the ten years since an annotated checklist of the molecular study seeks greater taxon and genome Victorian Odonata was published (Endersby 2000), sampling and, as this occurs, slow convergence be- a new species has been described from Victoria, tween the alternatives is appearing.

  • Dragonflies - 2003
    DRAGONFLIES - 2003 Banded Demoiselle Calopteryx splendens More commonly recorded along streams and rivers but small numbers are now regularly seen along the canal since the first on July 6, 1987. The only record away from the canal was at Fly Pool on August 20 1993. Emerald Damselfly Lestes sponsa This is a common species especially where there is emergent vegetation amongst which it is well camouflaged. Most frequent from July to August. Large Red Damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula Frequently the first species to be recorded in the spring. Small numbers can be found at most sites usually from mid-May to early August. Red-eyed Damselfly Erythromma najas A regionally scarce species that is locally common during June and July on the canals of the Brownhills and Pelsall area and at Marklew’s Pond on Brownhills Common. It has been recorded once at Chasewater on the Nine Foot Pool. Azure Damselfly Coenagrion puella A fairly common species mainly recorded from the well vegetated smaller pools from late May to the end of July. Common Blue Damselfly Enallagma cyathigerum Probably the most abundant species and it can often be seen flying low over open water from late May to early September. Blue-tailed Damselfly Ischnura elegans A very common species to be found in good numbers from late May to the end of August. Colour variant females are occasionally noted. Common Hawker Aeshna juncea Essentially a heathland species that can usually be seen around the North Marsh and the Eastern Heath in August and September. Migrant Hawker Aeshna mixta A relatively recent coloniser of South Staffordshire with Chasewater’s first record being on September 27, 1990.
