  • Critical Species of Odonata in Eastern Africa
    --- Guardians of the watershed. Global status of dragonflies: critical species, threat and conservation --- Critical species of Odonata in eastern Africa Viola Clausnitzer Liebenauer Stra~e 180, D-0611 0 Halle/Saale, Germany. <violacl®gmx.de> Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, IUCN, critical species, conservation, eastern Africa. ABSTRACT From eastern Africa, ranging from Somalia and Ethiopia south to Mozambique and Zimbabwe and west to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and Botswana, ca 500 species of Odonata are known. Comments on species and sites of conserva­ tion concern are given as well as recommendations for future research and conservation activities. Due to the rapid and ongoing destruction of forests, especially of coastal, Guineo-Congolian and Eastern Arc forests, species confined to these habitats are the most threatened. REGIONAL DEFINITION Eastern Africa is not a fixed political or geographical description for a specific area. Here the term is used for the region comprising the Rift Valley from Ethiopia south­ ward to Mozambique and northern Botswana and westward to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and eastern Angola. The neighbouring regions are covered to the south by Sam ways (2004 ), to the southwest by Suhling et al. (2004 ), to the west by Dijkstra & Vick (2004) and to the north by Jodicke et al. (2004). As biogeo­ graphy and faunistic distributions do not follow political borders, there may be overlaps with neighbouring regions. The area considered here covers some of the most important centres for endemism and regions of high biodiversity in Africa, namely forested mountain chains along the Albertine Rift and the Eastern Arc and coastal forests (e.g.

  • The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
    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.

    Ecography ECOG-02578 Pinkert, S., Brandl, R. and Zeuss, D. 2016. Colour lightness of dragonfly assemblages across North America and Europe. – Ecography doi: 10.1111/ecog.02578 Supplementary material Appendix 1 Figures A1–A12, Table A1 and A2 1 Figure A1. Scatterplots between female and male colour lightness of 44 North American (Needham et al. 2000) and 19 European (Askew 1988) dragonfly species. Note that colour lightness of females and males is highly correlated. 2 Figure A2. Correlation of the average colour lightness of European dragonfly species illustrated in both Askew (1988) and Dijkstra and Lewington (2006). Average colour lightness ranges from 0 (absolute black) to 255 (pure white). Note that the extracted colour values of dorsal dragonfly drawings from both sources are highly correlated. 3 Figure A3. Frequency distribution of the average colour lightness of 152 North American and 74 European dragonfly species. Average colour lightness ranges from 0 (absolute black) to 255 (pure white). Rugs at the abscissa indicate the value of each species. Note that colour values are from different sources (North America: Needham et al. 2000, Europe: Askew 1988), and hence absolute values are not directly comparable. 4 Figure A4. Scatterplots of single ordinary least-squares regressions between average colour lightness of 8,127 North American dragonfly assemblages and mean temperature of the warmest quarter. Red dots represent assemblages that were excluded from the analysis because they contained less than five species. Note that those assemblages that were excluded scatter more than those with more than five species (c.f. the coefficients of determination) due to the inherent effect of very low sampling sizes.

  • (Anisoptera: Gomphidae) Hong Kong
    Odonatologica24(3): 319-340 SeptemberI, 1995 The gomphiddragonflies of HongKong, with descriptions of two new species (Anisoptera: Gomphidae) K.D.F. Wilson 6F, 25 Borret Road, Mid Levels, Hong Kong Received September 30, 1993 / Revised and Accepted March 3, 1995 16 9 of these have been recorded from spp. are enumerated, not previously Hong S and Lamello- Kong. Melligomphusmoluani sp.n. (holotype : Mt Butler, 8-VII-1993) Tai collected larva gomphus hongkongensis sp.n. (holotype <J; Tong, as 22-V-1993, emerged 6-VI-1993) are described and illustrated. - The female ofGomphidiakelloggi Needham and Leplogomphus elegans hongkong-ensis Asahina are described for the first time. The hitherto unknown larva of Stylo-gomphus chunliuae Chao, Megalogomphussommeri Sel, and Gomphidiakelloggi Needham are illustrated. The of in a new record presence Paragomphus capricornis (Forster) Hong Kong represents for Chinese Territory. INTRODUCTION The odonatefaunaofHong Kong has been documentedby ASAHINA (1965,1987, 1988),LAI(1971), MATSUKI(1989,1990),MATSUKI et al. (1990), HAMALAINEN Lai’s (1991) andWILSON (1993). papercontains some interesting records including Ictinogomphus rapax (Ramb.), but a number of misidentificationsare apparent. ASAHINA (1987) chose to leave the paper by Lai uncited in his revised list of the OdonataofHong Kong, butthe ofIctinogomphus recorded here as I. pertinax presence , (Hagen), is here confirmed. ASAHINA (1988) described Leptogomphus elegans hongkongensis from Hong Kong and ASAHINA (1965, 1988) recorded further four species of Gomphinae; Heliogomphus scorpio (Ris), Asiagomphus hainanensis(Chao), A. septimus (Needham) and Ophiogomphus sinicus (Chao). MATSUKI (1989) de- scribed the larvae ofa species of Onychogomphus and MATSUKI et al. (1990) re- corded Stylogomphus chunliuae Chao.Further material, including malesand females of this Onychogomphus sp., has been obtained and the species is described here as Melligomphus moluami sp.n.
