Odonata: Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) Pseudagrion fumipennis, a remarkable new species of damselfly from New Guinea (Odonata: Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) Dan A. Polhemus, John Michalski & Stephen J. Richards Pseudagrion fumipennis sp. nov. is described from widely separated localities in the lowlands of New Guinea and immediately adjacent islands. It is the first known coenagrionid from the Papuan region to possess brown-tinted apices on all four wings. The new species appears to be structurally most similar to P. farinicolle from New Guinea and P. ustum from Sulawesi, but its precise relationships are obscure. Dr. D. A.

  • Aquatic and Terrestrial Vegetation Influence
    AQUATIC AND TERRESTRIAL VEGETATION INFLUENCE LACUSTRINE DRAGONFLY (ORDER ODONATA) ASSEMBLAGES AT MULTIPLE LIFE STAGES By Alysa J. Remsburg A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON 2007 i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Reflecting on the contributions of my colleagues and friends during my graduate studies gives me a strong sense of gratitude for the community of support that I have enjoyed. The people who surround and support me deserve more thanks than I can describe here. Friends and family have supported my graduate studies by generously accommodating my tight schedule and warmly offering encouragement throughout the process. Monica Turner guided my graduate studies in numerous ways. It was her trust in my abilities and willingness to learn about a new study organism that first made this research possible. She encouraged me to pursue the research questions that most interested and inspired me, although it meant charting territory that was new to both of us. Monica served as the ideal mentor for me by requiring clear communication, modeling an efficient and balanced work ethic, providing critical reviews, and listening compassionately. This research benefited from the expertise and generosity of outstanding Wisconsin ecologists. Members of my graduate research committee, Steve Carpenter, Claudio Gratton, Tony Ives, Bobbi Peckarsky, and Joy Zedler, all offered useful suggestions and critiques on experimental design, pressing research questions, and the manuscripts. Cecile Ane provided additional statistical advice and smiles. Bill Smith, Bob DuBois, and Robert Bohanan answered (or reassured me that I should try to answer) many questions about field methods, Odonata biology, and species identification.

Eight locations were selected, of which sixteen Odonata species were recorded. In total, eleven dragonfly and five damselfly species were identified from Thiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu, India.Pantala flavescens, Diplacodes trivialis, Brachythemis contaminata and Ischnura aurora were recorded from all eight locations. Trithemis pallidinervis and Agriocnemis pygmaea were recorded from seven locations except from the farm pond and the open stretch area. Rhyothemis variegata was recorded only at the open stretch area. The results clearly show that, Odonates have specific habitat preferences for their growth and development. Four families Libellulidae, Gomphidae, Aeshnidae and Coenagrionidae were observed and collected during the study. Libellulidae were the most abundant family (56.25%) and comprised of 9 species, followed by Coenagrionidae (31.25%) with 5 species.

Copyright (FAMIL K.A.Subramanian,Y 2005.: COENAGRIONIDAE) MARSH DARTS (FAMILY: COENAGRIONIDAE) Marsh darts are slender and small damselflies with varied colouration. 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.
