Odonates were collected in five districts (Tashigang, Samdrupjongkhar, Lhuntse, Pemagatshel and Zhemgang) in the eastern half of Bhutan between 13-iv- and 30-v-2016 and in Lhuntse district and Kanglung region in June 2016. A total of 16 localities were visited and 42 species were found, nine of which are new to Bhutan. These arePhiloganga montana, Anisogomphus occipitalis, Gomphidae sp., Davidius zallorensis, Stylogomphus inglisi, Chloro­ gomphus preciosus, Lyriothemis bivittata, Potamarcha congener and Zygonyx iris, increasing the number of Odonata species known from Bhutan to 104. Further key words. Dragonfly, damselfly, Anisoptera, Zygoptera Introduction The knowledge on the Odonata fauna of Bhutan has improved greatly in recent years resulting in a significant increase in the number of species known to occur there. Only eleven species were known in 1991 (Fraser 1936b; Lieftinck 1977; Tsuda 1991) but from 2002 to 2014 no fewer than 73 species were added to the list by Mitra and his co-researchers (Mitra 2002, 2006, 2008, 2013; Mitra & Thinley 2006; Mitra et al. 2012, 2014). Among these was the mysterious Epiophlebia laidlawi Tillyard, 1921 of which larvae have been recorded from several rivers and streams in Bhutan since 2009 although adults have thus far not been found (Brockhaus & Hartmann 2009). Kalkman & Gyeltshen (2016) added 11 additional species to the list and indicated that there are still many more species undiscovered in Bhutan. Most recently, Gyelt- shen et al. (2016) added two new species (Camacinia giganta and Libellago line ata) to the Bhutan checklist, bringing the number of taxa known from Bhutan to 92. Following a study carried out in the western part of the country in October 2015 (Kalkman & Gyeltshen 2016) a corresponding field visit to the eastern part of the country was deemed necessary. Previous studies on the dragonflies from eastern Bhutan concentrated on the area around Trashigang district and nearby districts with major representations coming from Bumdeling (Tashiyangtse district), Kanglung (Tashigang district) and Samdrupcholing (Samdrupjongkhar district). Records from other districts are scarce and therefore the field work of spring 2016 attempted to cover these areas. Material and methods Fieldwork was carried out between 13-iv- and 30-v-2016 in the five eastern dis- tricts Tashigang, Samdrupjongkhar, Lhuntse, Pemagatshel and Zhemgang (Fig. 1). Notulae odonatologicae 8(9) 2017: 319-374 355 Additional records were collected in Lhuntse district and Kanglung region in vi- -2016. Most places visited had not been explored for dragonflies previously. The sixteen sites ranged in elevation from 125 to 1 706 m a.s.l. Common species such as Diplacodes trivialis, Orthetrum glaucum, O. pruinosum and O. triangulare were not collected but notes on their presence were made. Specimens were identified using the identification keys of Fraser (1933, 1934, 1936), Lieftinck (1977), Laidlaw (1922) and Asahina (1986). Specimens collected are currently in the author’s col- lection to be later deposited in the museum of the National Biodiversity Centre of Bhutan. List of localities with odonate records (1) Dezama, Nganglam, Pemagatshel District, small stream by roadside (26°50’29.0.3”N, 91°16’34.3”E, 720 m a.s.l), 14-iv-2016 and 27-iv-2016.

    Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 217 (1996) Volume 105 p. 217-223 AN UPDATED CHECKLIST OF INDIANA DRAGONFLIES (ODONATA: ANISOPTERA) James R. Curry Department of Biology Franklin College Franklin, Indiana 46131 ABSTRACT: Published reports of Indiana Odonata appeared more or less regularly from the turn of the century until 1971. Two workers, E.B. Williamson and B.E. Montgomery, were largely responsible for this work, and between them, they reported 100 species of dragonflies (Anisoptera) for Indiana. Williamson published an annotated list of Indiana Odonata in 1917 in which he gave each species a number from 1 to 125. As new species were reported, they were added to the list at the appropriate taxonomic position by adding an a, b, c, and so on to an existing number. Since 1971, no additional published reports have appeared, and changes in classification and nomenclature make an update of the State list of dragonflies necessary. Williamson's numbering system does not fit well with the changes that have occurred, and the author recommends that it be dropped in favor of a more up-to-date listing. Several species reported for the State are no longer recognized, and one species new to Indiana has recently been recorded. Currently, 98 species of dragonflies are recorded for Indiana. KEYWORDS: Anisoptera, Indiana dragonflies, Indiana records, Odonata. INTRODUCTION Systematic surveys of Indiana Odonata, conducted almost annually from the turn of the century by Williamson, Montgomery, and others, ceased in the late 1960s. The surveys were resumed four years ago by the author with the intent to update State records and to develop a field guide to the common species in the State.
