A revised, annotated checklist of the Victorian dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata). Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria. 122(1): 9-27. ISSN 0035-9211. Seventy-six species of Odonata are known from Victoria (26 Zygoptera; 50 Anisoptera). In the last ten years one new species Austroaeschna ingrid Theischinger, 2008 has been described from the State; Austroepigomphus praeruptus (Selys, 1857) and Pseudagrion microcephalum (Rambur, 1842) have now been recorded; and records of Rhadinosticta banksi (Tillyard, 1913) and Labidiosticta vallisi (Fraser, 1955) are judged to be erroneous. Generic names of Aeshna, and Trapezostigma have been changed. Some changes in higher level names and relationships, based on recent phylogenetic analyses, have been incorporated. Distribution maps for all species, based on museum collections, are provided.

    222 On a collection of Odonata from Cambodia, with the first record of Sinictinogomphus clavatus and a description of the female of Zyxomma breviventre Malte Seehausen1, Jérôme Constant2 & Koen Smets3 1 Museum Wiesbaden, Naturhistorische Sammlungen, Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 2, 65185 Wies- baden, Germany; [email protected] 2, 3 Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, O.D. Phylogeny and Taxonomy, Entomology, Vautier street 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium; [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. 71 specimens of 22 Odonata species from northwestern Cambodia stored at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences were examined and catalogued. The specimens were collected between 24-v-2003 and 31-v-2003. Sinictinogomphus clavatus is recorded in Cambodia for the first time, bringing the national checklist to 161 species. Several speci- mens of Zyxomma breviventre (Martin, 1921), recorded for the third time ever, were col- lected using mercury vapour light traps. Females of this species are recorded for the first time and both sexes are illustrated. Information on the species’ habitat is provided and the genus Zyxom moides Martin, 1921 is briefly discussed. The following species were also collected at light traps: Diplacodes trivialis, Neurothemis fluctuans, Neurothemis intermedia atalanta, Pantala flavescens, Potamarcha congener, and Zyxomma petiolatum. Further key words. Dragonfly, Anisoptera, damselfly, Zygoptera, light trap Introduction The Odonata fauna of Cambodia was poorly known until the beginning of the 21st century (Hämäläinen 2004). Thanks to intensive research over the last ten years knowledge is steadily increasing. Kosterin & Vikhrev (2006) recorded 12 species new to Cambodia, Roland & Roland (2010) added five species, Kos- terin (2010) added 15 more species and stated 83 species were then known to occur in Cambodia; he also gave a useful overview of the history of odonato- logical research in the country.

Key words: Platycnemididae; Calicnemiinae; Idiocnemis inornata-group; Idiocnemis patriciae spec. nov.; Papua New Guinea. Abstract Idiocnemis patriciae spec. nov. is described from lowland rainforests of the Dark-End Lumber and Lakekamu regions in Gulf Province, Papua New Guinea. Biogeographi- cally, the new species is near-endemic to the Papuan Gulf Coastal Lowlands area of endemism. Notes on the habitat of the new species and on a female specimen from the Lakekamu Basin tentatively assigned to it, are included. The distributions of I. australis Gassmann, I. chloropleura Lieft inck and I. kimminsi Lieft inck are updated. I. chloropleura is recorded from Yapen island for the fi rst time. A revised key to the males of the Idioc- nemis inornata species-group is provided. Introduction Idiocnemis Selys, 1878, is the most speciose genus of Platycnemididae in New Guin- ea and its surrounding islands. The constituent species are quite uniform morphologi- cally compared to those of other genera of Platycnemididae in the Papuan region.

  • Odonata of the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Papua New Guinea
    IDF-Report 7 (2005): 1-28 1 Odonata of the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Papua New Guinea Steffen Oppel Wildlife Conservation Society, PO Box 277, Goroka, EHP, Papua New Guinea [email protected] Neurobasis sp. nov., Calopterygidae Summary The odonate fauna of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is species rich but poorly studied. Geographic ranges, ecology, and thus conservation status of many species are unknown. In this study I provide an inventory of two sites within the largest formally protected forest area in PNG, the Crater Mountain Wild- life Management Area. I sampled odonates for a total of 112 days in a pristine forest site and for 36 days in a traditional garden village, and worked with local communities to increase the awareness of dragonflies in the area. I found a total of 78 species (60 Zygoptera, 18 Anisoptera) from 13 families, including at least six currently undescribed species. 2 Odonata of the Crater Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Papua New Guinea The pristine rainforest hosted more species (61) than the village (37), and a longer sampling period was required to reach an approximately equal level of the total species richness. I calculated species accumulation curves for both areas and found that 100 sampling days were required in the pristine forest, whereas 35 sampling days appeared sufficient in the modified forest. More than two-thirds of all species recorded in the pristine forest were observed in less than half of all the sampling sessions, indicating that species might be both rare and occur only during certain times of the year.

INTRODUCTION General Based upon the late recognition of both Alfred Wegener's theory of plate tectonics (1915) and Willi Hennig's phylogenetic systematics (1950, 1966), as well as by the influence of Leon Croizat's panbiogeography (1958) and the recent developments in analytical and computerized biogeographal methodology, the last decades led to a considerable increase of historical biogeographical studies on various groups of organisms, using different types of characters. The melange between a steadily growing geological-tectonical knowledge of the earth's surface on one hand, and the advancement of methodology in comparative historical biogeography on the other hand, has proven to be fruitful. Certainly, the recognition that taxa and areas may evolve together, and its implementation in biogeographical research, was one of the foremost achievements in historical biogeographic research in the second half of the last century. While before Croizat (e.g.: 1958) disjunct distributions of presumably related taxa were predominantly considered the result of long distance dispersal, this view slowly shifted towards the vicariance approach. The proponents of 'vicariance biogeography' were not always free of dogmatism, when rejecting dispersal hypotheses as 'old-fashioned'.
