Odonatologica 31(1): 1-8 March 1, 2002 Commented checklist of the Odonataof Surinam J. Belle* Onder de Beumkes 35, NL-6883 HC Velp, The Netherlands Received March 26, 2001 / Revised and Accepted June 12, 2001 A list is given of 283 spp. and sspp„ referable to 87 genera of 15 families. Some but remain additional taxa are evidenced unidentified. Notes are supplied on some spp.; Hetaerina cruentata (Ramb.), Argia extranea(Hag.), Phyllocycla signata (Hag.), Phyllogomphoides audax (Hag.), Dythemis sterilis Hag., D. velox Hag., Erythrodiplax attenuata(Kirby), E. ochracea (Burnt.), E. aequatorialis Ris and Perithemis waltheri Ris are deleted from the national list. INTRODUCTION In his recent WorldList, TSUDA (2000) catalogued 196 species that were so far published from Surinam. The below list covers all the 282 species currently known to occur in that country. Most of these were evidenced during 1938-1965by the late Dr D.C. G e i j s k e s; merely ca 60 species were documented in the older literature. By 1953, when I became involved in fieldexploration ofthe Surinamese odonate fauna his collection included (1953-1965), ca 240 species. Save for the the is based the identifications Gomphidae, listing mainly on by Geijskes, whileliberal use has also been made of the Internet presentation by Dr D.R. Paulson. The lay-out ofthe checklist follows as much as possible thatof DE MARMELS (1990) for the Venezuelan Odonata. CHECKLIST OF DRAGONFLIES RECORDED FROM SURINAM [up to March 2001] The Checklist includes) 94)Zygoptera species (in 31 genera, 11 families) and 189 Anisoptera species (in 56 genera,4 families). The asterisked (*) taxa are commented upon on pp. 5-6. * Author deceased 21 August 2001. 2 J.

E-mail: [email protected] 4Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract A new genus and species of damselfly, Burmagrion marjanmatoki, gen. et sp. nov., is described from Early Cretaceous Burmese amber. It is attributed to the basal stem group of Coenagrionoidea. The inclusion of five wings from the same species suggests that the amber piece contains the remains of a mating pair of damselflies. Key words: damselfly, Coenagrionoidea, fossil insect, Cenomanian Introduction Even though numerous Odonata have been described from Cretaceous sedimentary deposits, including representatives from at least 16 families from the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation in Brazil (Bechly 1996a, 1998b, 2007, 2010) and numerous taxa from Lower Cretaceous deposits in England (Jarzembowski et al. 1998) and France (Nel et al. 2008), and even though odonate fossils are well represented in Tertiary amber (Bechly 1993, 1996b, 1998a, 2000; Bechly & Wichard 2008), descriptions of damselflies in Cretaceous amber were very rare until the recent boom of paleoentomological studies on Burmese amber.

    International Journal of Odonatology 1 (2): 137-153, 1998. © 1998 Backhuys Publishers. 137 MACROTHEMIS FALLAX, ANEW SPECIES OF DRAGONFLY FROM CENTRAL AMERICA (ANISOPTERA: LIBELLULIDAE), WITH A KEY TO MALE MACROTHEMIS Michael L. May Department of Entomology, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, Cook College, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8524, U.S. A Received 24 February 1998; revised 8 July 1998; accepted 10 July 1998 Key words: Odonata, Abstract Macrothemis fa/lax spec. nov is described and figured from males collected in Belize and central Panama. It is apparently closely related to the widespread species, M. pseudimitans Calvert, 1898, with which it has hitherto been confused. These two species differ in shape of the cerci and epiproct, metafemoral armature, and thoracic and tibial coloration. A key to males of the genus, based largely on literature sources, is also provided. Introduction The genus Macrothemis is almost exclusively Neotropical, although a few species range northward into northern Mexico and the southwestern United States (Needham & Westfall, 1955). It comprises 39 or 40 species (Bridges, 1994, following Garrison, 1991, placed M. valida Navas, 1916, in Brechmorhoga, a plausible but so far unsubstantiated transfer), including the one described here. The latter is typical of the genus in that the inferior tooth of each tarsal claw is enlarged and its tip extends beyond that of the superior tooth. Thus the placement in Macrothemis rather than Brechmorhoga is clearly warranted, although the trigonal interspace of one forewing of the holotype is widened distally more than is usual in Macrothemis (Donnelly, 1984). The last comprehensive treatment of the genus was that of Ris (1913); although still very useful, this work is seriously outdated owing to the subsequent description of 15 species (Belle, 1983, 1987; Costa 1990, 1991; Donnelly, 1984; Gonzalez, 1992; Navas, 1916, 1918; Racenis, 1957; Ris, 1919; Santos, 1967).

  • An Overview of Molecular Odonate Studies, and Our Evolutionary Understanding of Dragonfly and Damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) Behavior

    An Overview of Molecular Odonate Studies, and Our Evolutionary Understanding of Dragonfly and Damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) Behavior

    International Journal of Odonatology Vol. 14, No. 2, June 2011, 137–147 Dragons fly, biologists classify: an overview of molecular odonate studies, and our evolutionary understanding of dragonfly and damselfly (Insecta: Odonata) behavior Elizabeth F. Ballare* and Jessica L. Ware Department of Biological Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 195 University Ave., Boyden Hall, Newark, NJ, 07102, USA (Received 18 November 2010; final version received 3 April 2011) Among insects, perhaps the most appreciated are those that are esthetically pleasing: few capture the interest of the public as much as vibrantly colored dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata). These remarkable insects are also extensively studied. Here, we review the history of odonate systematics, with an emphasis on discrepancies among studies. Over the past century, relationships among Odonata have been reinterpreted many times, using a variety of data from wing vein morphology to DNA. Despite years of study, there has been little consensus about odonate taxonomy. In this review, we compare odonate molecular phylogenetic studies with respect to gene and model selection, optimality criterion, and dataset completeness. These differences are discussed in relation to the evolution of dragonfly behavior. Keywords: Odonata; mitochondrion; nuclear; phylogeny; systematic; dragonfly; damselfly Introduction Why study Odonata? The order Odonata comprises three suborders: Anisozygoptera, Anisoptera, and Zygoptera. There are approximately 6000 species of Odonata described worldwide (Ardila-Garcia & Gregory, 2009). Of the three suborders Anisoptera and Zygoptera are by far the most commonly observed and collected, because there are only two known species of Anisozygoptera under the genus Epiophlebia. All odonate nymphs are aquatic, with a few rare exceptions such as the semi-aquatic Pseudocordulia (Watson, 1983), and adults are usually found near freshwater ponds, marshes, rivers (von Ellenrieder, 2010), streams, and lakes (although some species occur in areas of mild salinity; Corbet, 1999).
