    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

In addition the 224 named 3 by accuracy to spp. (and sspp.), some 65-70 still undescribed or unidentified (to species level) taxa are listed. Detailed data for 14 named which listed from the collecting are presented spp., arc Philippines for the first time, viz.

Prodasineura obsoleta (Selys, 1882) is synonymized with P. integra (Selys, 1882) and Gomphidia platerosi Asahina, 1980 with G. kirschii Selys, 1878. A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.

These non-iridescent damselflies rest with wings closed over their body. The wings are transparent and rounded at the tip. The long and slender abdomen is slightly longer than the hind wing. Some of the smallest damselflies like the Golden Dartlet (Ischnura aurora) is from this family. Marsh Darts are found throughout the world. World over, this family is represented by about 1147 species. Within Indian limits, 65 species are known and in peninsular India 25 species are recorded. The marsh darts breed in a variety of aquatic habitats like ponds, marshes, streams and Photo:E.Kunhikrishnan rivers. Though most of the species are closely associated with aquatic habitats, some Golden Dartlets mating species like the Common Marsh Dart (Ceriagrion coromandelianum) can be found far away from any aquatic habitat.

    Journal of Wildlife and Parks, 33: 57-64 (2018) 57 ODONATA OF SUNGAI DUSUN WILDLIFE RESERVE, SELANGOR, PENINSULAR MALAYSIA *Choong, C.Y.1, Alwen, B.M.2 & Tan, C.C.3 1Centre for Insect Systematics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. 2Pejabat PERHITAN Daerah Langkawi, Kompleks Dermaga Tanjung Lembong, Tingkat Bawah, Blok A, Mukim Ulu Melaka, 07000 Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia. 3Department of Wildlife and National Parks, KM 10 Jalan Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Records of Odonata collected at Sungai Dusun Wildlife Reserve on two field surveys (8-14 June and 15-20 September 2015) are presented. Adult insects were collected in the field surveys. In total, 33 species from 11 families were recorded from both the field surveys. The species list was dominated by family Libellulidae (14 species), followed by family Platycnemididae (five species) and Aeshnidae (four species). The other families (Calopterygidae, Chlorocyphidae, Euphaeidae, Argiolestidae, Philosinidae, Coenagrionidae, Gomphidae and Synthemistidae) were represented only by 1-3 species. Species found abundantly in the sampling site were Tyriobapta torrida and Vestalis amethystina. Interesting species recorded were Gynacantha dohrni, Burmagomphus arthuri, Tetracanthagyna plagiata and Oligoaeschna foliacea. G. dohrni is a new record for Peninsular Malaysia. Published Odonata records from other sources were compiled to produce a species list for Sungai Dusun Wildlife Reserve. At present 38 species from 11 families are known to Sungai Dusun Wildlife Reserve.
