Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ jcosta@globo.com Introdução Os Odonata, popularmente conhecidos como libélula, lava-bunda, lavadeira, cavalo-de-judeu, zig-zag e jacinta, entre outros, são insetos hemimetábolos com adultos terrestre-aéreos e larvas aquáticas. Suas larvas são encontradas em ambientes aquáticos lóticos e lênticos e algumas espécies em ambientes especiais (fitotelmatas), como a água acumulada nas bainhas das folhas de bromélias e nos ocos de árvores. Os adultos, tipicamente diurnos, com alguns crepusculares, são voadores ativos que apresentam comportamentos territoriais e sexuais bastante complexos. A oviposição ocorre imediatamente após a cópula. Dependendo da espécie, os ovos podem ser inseridos em tecido vegetal (postura endofítica) vivo ou morto, na lama do fundo ou mesmo no solo logo acima da linha d’água. As espécies exofíticas podem soltar os ovos individualmente ou em massas compactas, dentro ou acima d’água ou grudá-los em algum tipo de substrato. A duração do período larval pode variar de dois meses até cerca de dois anos, dependendo da espécie. A emergência ocorre geralmente à noite, quando as larvas abandonam a água e se prendem a plantas aquáticas, galhos ou outro substrato emerso. Predadores, vorazes e generalistas, alimentam-se de presas que localizam visualmente.

This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material.

  • 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.

HABITAT It can be found in all kinds of habitats, whether they are bodies of water or not, as this is a migratory species. It is unknown if there is a breeding spot this species has in the Province of Málaga, but they are likely to mate in standing water bodies with plenty of vegetation on the riverbank (above all rushes and bulrushes). These can be perennial or temporary, such as small reservoirs and dams, artificial ponds, deserted quarries and polls in rivers and streams. WAY OF LIFE This species migrates from Africa and the Mediterranean to a large part of Europe, where it reaches Iceland (only this Odonata from that country has been seen here).

    nature needs more explorers What sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa can say about the state of our most critical resource and the exploration of life. Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra, Jens Kipping & Nicolas Mézière (1 December 2015) Sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa (Odonata). Odonatologica 44: 447-678 By naming 60 new dragonflies at once, we want to show that a biologist’s greatest importance today is to provide the names and knowledge needed to add all life to the human conscience. We do so by challenging three common misconceptions about biodiversity: 1. that most of Earth’s species are known to us 2. that the remaining unknown species are hidden and detectable only by genetics 3. that enough effort is being made in the field to uncover the unknown in time We demonstrate this with some of the most sensitive and beautiful of all biodiversity: 1. freshwater — Earth’s most dense and threatened species richness 2. Africa — the continent that will change most in the 21st century 3. dragonflies — the insects that could The new Sarep Sprite Pseudagrion sarepi was named be the best gauge of global change after the SAREP expedition to eastern Angola. Mankind knows just 20% of the 9 million species of animal, plant, fungus and protist thought to inhabit our planet. With 6000 species named, dragonflies and damselflies were regarded as well-known. The 60 new dragonflies described now are the most to be named at once in a century, adding 1 species to every 12 known in Africa. Their beauty and sensitivity can raise awareness for freshwater biodiversity, the densest and most threatened on earth.

We list dragonfly observations of a Biodiversity Express Survey to the highland areas in north-west Mozambique, exploring for the first time the Njesi Pla- teau (Serra Jecci/Lichinga plateau), Mt Chitagal and Mt Sanga, north of the provincial capital of Lichinga. A total of 13 species were collected. Allocnemis cf. abbotti and Gynacantha im­ maculifrons are new records for Mozambique. Further key words. Dragonfly, damselfly, Anisoptera, Zygoptera, biodiversity, survey Introduction The mountains of the East African Rift, stretching south from Ethiopia to Mozam- bique, are known to harbour a rich biological diversity owing to their unique habi- tats and long periods of isolation. Typically comprised of evergreen montane forests interspersed with high altitude grassland/moorland habitats, these montane archi- pelagos, often volcanic in origin, have been widely documented as supporting high levels of endemism across taxonomic groups and are of international conservation value (Myers et al. 2000). While certain mountain ranges within this region have been relatively well studied biologically e.g.
