Abstract
This paper presents a checklist of the Odonata of Namibia and provides up-to-date dis- tribution maps of 130 species. Compared with the checklist from 2007, five species have been added to the list, four of them were new for science. Two species were omitted.
Zusammenfassung
Verbreitungskarten und Checkliste der Libellen Namibias (Odonata). – Aus Namibia sind derzeit 130 Libellenarten bekannt. Im Vergleich zur Checkliste von 2007 werden fünf Arten hinzugefügt, vier davon waren neu für die Wissenschaft. Zwei Arten werden von der bis- herigen Liste gestrichen. Für alle Arten werden aktualisierte Verbreitungskarten geliefert.
Introduction
Previously published species lists of the Odonata of Namibia are included in pub- lications on other topics, by Brinck (1955), Curtis (1991), and Pinhey (1984, 1985). Brinck’s (1955) list of Namibian Odonata refers to 32 species, whereas Pinhey’s South African Odonata checklist (Pinhey 1984, 1985) refers to 56 spe- cies for Namibia. Curtis (1991) included 70 valid species of dragonflies in a checklist of freshwater macro-invertebrates of Namibia (plus some taxa marked as doubtful; cf. Martens et al. 2003). With the activities of the entomologists of the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität, Berlin (ZMHB) and finally the BIOTA research project the survey activity in Namibia increased (Fig. 1). The revised dragonfly fauna recorded 102 species (Martens et al. 2003). The next update listed additional 25 species raising the total species number to 127 and presented preliminary distribution maps for all species as of 2006 (Suhling & Martens 2007). Libellula Supplement 13: 107-175 108 Frank Suhling & Andreas Martens
The aim of this contribution is to deliver an updated checklist and up-to-date dis- tribution maps for all species. We also critically examine the checklist of 2007 and suggest some few changes in the species list. We provide maps for a total of 130 species. Data acquisition
The distribution maps and the checklist presented here, base on previously pub- ● lished checklists (see above) and on additional sources: Namibian National Collection of Insects, National Museum of Namibia, Wind- hoek (NMNW). This includes material collected by L. Coetzee, S.V. Green, J. Irish, A.H. Kirk-Spriggs, E. Marais, C.S. Roberts and H. & W. Rust. Virtually all the speci- mens dating from the period 1936-1963 lack a collector’s name on the attached labels; most of these have likely been collected by F. Gaerdes. The collection ● also includes material collected by R. Jödicke in 1999. For this study, we re- identified the majority of Odonata material held in the NMNW. Odonata held in the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität, Berlin ● (ZMHB) collected by J. Deckert, U. Göllner, F. Koch, and G. Peters (cf. Koch et al. 1995); F. Koch provided also more recently collected specimens. Odonata of the General Entomology Collection of the Transvaal Museum, Gauteng (TMSA), collected by B.I. Balinsky, F. Gaerdes, C. Koch, H. Strydom and others. W. Tarboton examined the specimens and provided a list.

●
● Several photographic records by H.-M. Koch, H. Roland, and P. Reiner identified by the authors. Records of J. Kipping during several sampling trips since 2000. For some rare ● species we consider records made by him at the Chobe River near Kasane, Bo- tswana, which is just opposite Impalila Island, Namibia (Kipping 2010). Records generated from an extensive survey of the western ephemeral river catchments of Namibia and the upper Fish River catchment 2001 to 2003, and ● collecting trips to the Kunene in 2002 and the Okavango in 2003, by A. Martens and F. Suhling. Records generated from several excursions to different parts of the country, particularly the Caprivi, 2004 to 2013 by F. Suhling, accompanied by I. Suh- ling, K.G. Leipelt, E. Marais, A. Martens, E. Mosch, J. Ott, G. Sahlén, P. Schridde, C. Schütte, O. Richter and G. Rüppell, respectively, for some periods. All collected specimens are deposited in NMNW. All data were compiled in a data- base maintained by FS (cf. Fig. 2). Changes in the checklist since Suhling & Martens (2007)
Agriocnemis bumhilli Lestinogomphus silkae Five species are Trithemis newly recorded. morrisoni Among these, four are new to T. science,palustris namely Kipping, Martens & Suhling, 2012,Brachythemis wilsoni Kipping, 2010, Damm & Hadrys, 2009, and Agrio cnemisDamm bumhilli& Hadrys,T. 2009. morrisoni The fifth species newCrenigomphus to Namibia kavangoensis is Pinhey, 1952, which was found at the Kwando River in December 2010. , as well as Trithemis morrisoni T. palustris Suhling & Marais, 2010 have their type localities in Namibia (Damm & Hadrys 2009; Suhling & Marais 2010; Kipping et al. 2012). and can not be distinguished in the field so far. ● Notogomphus praetorius Two species have to be removed from the checklist: (Selys, 1878): the locality of the one single record from Namibia is unlikely to provide habitat for this species. The typical habitat is ● Trithemismountain pluvialis streams in woodland, which does not exist near Hardap Dam. We suppose wrong locality assignment. Förster, 1906 is based on observationT. pluvialis of one single male at the KwandoT. monardi River (Kappes & Nehls 2004); no specimens have been collected nor photos have been taken. Since then no records of were made. We Rhyothemisinfer that mariposa was observed, which is known from the Kwando River.
(Ris, 1913) is a special case: Pinhey (1984) assigned the type locality ‘Otiembora’ to Namibia. However, the locality cannot be localized with security since the collector, Axel W. Eriksson, did not leave notes. John Irish (in lit.) provided us with the best possible georeference, indicating that the local- ity is in Angola in close proximity to the Namibian border. The region is not well surveyed. Thus, although the species was not recorded it may occur in Namibia. We keep this species on the checklist.

● Mastigogomphus In addition there are some taxonomicNeurogomphus changes: Due to distinct larval characters Cammaerts, 2004 formerly ● regarded as a subgenus of by Cammaerts (2004)Aeshna have been raised to genus level (Suhling et al.Zosteraeschna 2014). Aeshna minusculaPeters & Theischinger (2011) revised the former genus in Africa ● and created the monotypic genus Trithetrum, including the former T. navasi. Sympetrum navasi ● AethiothemisDijkstra & Pilgrim discrepans (2007) created the genus which is represented A.by solitaria (Lacroix, 1921), formerly . Lieftinck, 1969 is considered to be a junior synonym of Martin, 1908 (see Kipping 2010). Pinheyagrion angolense The changes reported abovePseudagrion bring the checklist helenae toP. 130fisheri species.Trithemis Some more brydeni spe- cies may be expected, particularly , which occurs in An- gola as well as in Botswana. , , and all occur in the Okavango Delta (Kipping 2010).Pseudagrion At the Orange citricola River thereTrithemis may be twodorsalis additional species, which have both been recorded at Augrabies Falls, 50 km upstream ofP. theangolense Namibian border, namely and . Finally, in streams in the lower Kunene catchment (e.g. Otjihipa Mts) one may expect , which is found in S Angola.
