I have included a complete list of Iran odonata with the exact locality also the references of each in English . The drawings all have the scientific names ,so that the readers aquainted with English language could use this book . only the introduction and very general characteristics of odonata is in Persian language .

Hassan Mohammadian Preface

The author has so far written three books on aquatic insects of Iran : Ephemeroptera , Plecoptera and Trichoptera . Odonata which is considered an important aquatic group is dealt with in this volume .This group in Iran has a considerable diversity : about 95 species have been reported which the number is increasing . Many European and Russian scientists from the second half of 19 century till now have been involved in collecting and idenfiying this group of insects in Iran . One of the most important references and article belong to Dr. Erich Schmidt , the German scientist :

Schmidt, E. (1954). Die Libellen Irans. Sitzungsberichete der osterrichischen academieder wissenschaften. K1.I, Vienna, 163, 223-260.

In this article he gives report of 73 species of odonata in Iran . From the second half of 20 century Iranian has also taken part actively in this respect . For understating the biodiversity of this group in Iran we should first take a look at the diverse habitats we do have in this country .There are a
