Joshi & Sawant INTRODUCTION Ceriagrion chromothorax sp. nov. (Images 1a,b, 2a,b, 3a,b,c, 4a) Ceriagrion is a diverse and widespread genus of urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:78B8744D-467C-4B5E-A393-73BDE57A6BC9 damselfies (Zygoptera) within the family Coenagrionidae with 51 species (Schorr & Paulson 2018). This genus Common name: Sindhudurg Marsh Dart. consists of many closely related species, which are Holotype: Male (NCBS-BB921), 4.viii.2017, difcult to diagnose without thorough examinaton of Vimaleshwar, Devgad, Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra, the prothorax and male genital ligula (Asahina 1967; India, (16.4330N & 73.3950E; elevaton ~27m), Dijkstra 2005).

  • First Record of Ceriagrion Fallax Ris (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) Preying on Small Web-Building Spiders (Arachnida: Tetragnathidae)
    International Journal of Odonatology, 2015 Vol. 18, No. 2, 153–156, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2015.1025244 First record of Ceriagrion fallax Ris (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) preying on small web-building spiders (Arachnida: Tetragnathidae) Xin Yu∗ Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, PR China (Received 5 January 2015; accepted 28 February 2015) In montane forest of south-western Yunnan, China, a female of Ceriagrion fallax was observed and pho- tographed preying on a small web-building spider of the genus Leucauge. This is the first record of plucking an orb-weaver spider by a representative of the genus Ceriagrion. A brief discussion on the evolution of spider feeding behaviour in odonates is provided. Keywords: Odonata; Zygoptera; Coenagrionidae; Ceriagrion fallax; predation; Leucauge Introduction Many species of Odonata have been reported preying on small web-building spiders, as was related by Novelo-Gutiérrez and Ramírez (2013). After reading the interesting record of Novelo- Gutiérrez and Ramírez (2013), I recalled observing a similar event during my own fieldwork in which a little damselfly, Ceriagrion fallax Ris (Coenagrionidae), also caught a web-building spider as prey. Fortunately, I recorded the episode in detail in my fieldwork diary which I describe here. According to Dijkstra, Kalkman, Dow, Stokvis, and van Tol (2014), Ceriagrion is closely related to Telebasis (the temporary spider feeding specialist, according to Novelo-Gutiérrez & Ramírez, 2013) and pseudostigmatids (the obligatory spider feeding group). However there has so far been no report of Ceriagrion species preying on spiders. I suppose this observation should be a temporary specialization (Corbet, 1999).

  • Holistic Survey on Damselfly (Anisoptera : Odonata)Diversity in Rice Ecosystem of Eastern India
    International Research Journal of Natural Sciences Vol.4, No.4, pp.19-34, December 2016 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) HOLISTIC SURVEY ON DAMSELFLY (ANISOPTERA : ODONATA)DIVERSITY IN RICE ECOSYSTEM OF EASTERN INDIA C.R. Satpathi and A. Mondal Department of Agricultural Entomology Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya( State agricultural University), P.O- Mohanpur, Dist. – Nadia, West Bengal -741252, India ABSTRACT: This study highlights the richness of Damselfly (Anisoptera: Odonata) fauna associated with rice ecosystems in Eastern India.. Sampling of the Damselfly community was conducted during 2010-14 to determine species composition, abundance and distribution in 3 different habitats of rice fields which were selected at 60 m (Chakdaha), 600 m (Cooch Behar) and 1250 m (Kalimpong) respectively. Each location was surveyed at a biweekly interval after transplanting of rice plants and about 10 species of Damselfly were recorded as insect predators in rice crops of Eastern India. General morphology, biology, ecology, behavior of the Damselfly are being highlighted in the present investigation. After comparing different body parts, double branching keys are prepared for their easy identification. The studies of their diversity showed that maximum and minimum value of both Simpson and Shannon-Weiner index were at the flowering and the vegetative stage of crop respectively. The value of Margalef index and Menhinck index also indicated that the highest value in reproductive stage of rice crop. The studies on Evenness index designated that the value of E1, E2 and E3 were influenced by species richness and not evenness. Consequently the influence of fertilizer on the incidence of Damselfly in rice ecosystem showed that there was a remarkable increase of population where high doses of nitrogen (120 kg/ha) were applied followed by the use of mix fertilizer(120:60:60 N:P:K).

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.

  • Odonata of the Cambodian Coastal Regions Revisited: Beginning of Dry Season in 2010
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 40 (2011): 1-108 1 Odonata of the Cambodian coastal regions revisited: beginning of dry season in 2010 Oleg E. Kosterin* *Institute of Cytology & Genetics SB RAS, Acad. Lavrentyev ave. 10, Novo- sibirsk, 630090, Russia; Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova str. 2, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Results of the odonatological survey of the coastal SW regions of Cambodia on No- vember 28 - December 11, 2001, are presented, including field notes, enumeration of all records by locality, discussion of interesting specimens and their taxonomy and of seasonality aspects. Fifteen (14 named) species have been added to the known fauna of Cambodia: Aristocypha fenestrella (Rambur, 1842), Rhinagrion viridatum Fraser, 1938, Lestes elatus Hagen in Selys, 1862, L. platystylus Rambur, 1842, Aci- agrion tillyardi Laidlaw, 1919, Agriocnemis f. femina (Brauer, 1868), Archibasis viola Lieftinck, Ceriagrion calamineum Laidlaw, 1951, Mortonagrion aborense (Laidlaw, 1914), M. falcatum Lieftinck, 1934, Pseudagrion microcephalum (Rambur, 1842), 1948, Paragomphus capricornis (Förster, 1914), Hemicordulia undescr. spec., Macro- diplax cora (Brauer, 1867), Nannophya pygmaea Rambur, 1842, plus a provisionally identified Ceriagrion indochinense Asahina, 1976. The country list now achieves 106 named species (not counting Prodasineura verticalis sensu Asahina, 1983, C. indo- chinense and Hemicordulia sp.). Coeliccia megumii Asahina, 1984 is synonymised with C. kazukoae Asahina, 1984. The differences between Ceriagrion olivaceum Laid- law, 1914 and C. calamineum Lieftinck, 1951 are discussed. Introduction In April 2010, I studied the Cardamon foothills in SW Cambodia for their Odonata (Kosterin 2010). The photos of this trip are now available at http://asia-dragonfly.net and at my site at http://pisum.bionet.nsc.ru/kosterin/odonata/cambodia.htm.
