The survey except Rajkandi Reserve Forest and Lawachara National was also carried out in Rajkandi Reserve Forest and Park where Neurothemis intermedia Rambur, 1842 was Tilagor Eco Park. Also, an extensive survey was carried the predominant species. The present study added 45 out in Shahjalal University of Science and Technology species (24 Anisoptera and 21 Zygoptera) to the known (SUST) campus of Sylhet District and one opportunistic Odonata fauna of the north-east which is now 76 species survey was executed in Madhobpur Lake. The average (Appendix 1). Also, five Odonata species (two Anisoptera temperature of these study areas varies from 10–36 0C. and three Zygoptera) were newly added to the current Odonata fauna of Bangladesh. The newly recorded Sampling of odonates species are discussed along with their taxonomic status. The odonates were surveyed by walking opportunistically through the forest paths, near Anax indicus Lieftinck, 1942 (Aeshnidae) (Image 1a) streams, lakes, ponds and grasslands associated with Anax is a large dragonfly genus of 29 species and the wetlands from 08.00–17.00 hr.

  • The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

First case of an andromorphic female of Urothemis signata from eastern India is presented. Detail comparisons of the andromorphic female with mature male and female of this species are given. Key words: Anisoptera, andromorphs, Zygoptera. Resumen. Primer caso de una hembra andromórfica de Urothemis signata para el este de la India. Se proporcionan comparaciones detalladas de la hembra andromórfica con machos y hembras maduras de esta especie. Palabras clave: Anisoptera, andromórficos, Zygoptera. Urothemis signata Rambur, 1842 is a commonly found Libellulid in Oriental and Australian region (Dow 2010). Usually, the adults of this dragonfly exhibit sexual dimorphism (Fraser 1936). Mature males of this species are striking red with reddish face, thorax and abdomen, while mature females are yellowish (Fraser 1936; De Fonseka 2000). Male mimic females or andromorphs are commonly found in Zygoptera. Hybridization and coloration in females further complicate identifications based on their morphological features (Márquez-Rodríguez and Vega-Maqueda 2016). Furthermore it is estimated that andromorphs are found in 54% genera of European Zygoptera (Cordero and Andres 1996). Andromorph females are commonly found in Zygoptera where it represents true polychromatism (Corbet 1999).

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).

Department of Zoology, Christian College, Chengannur, Kerala, India. Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract: Dragonflies and Damselflies are among the most attractive creatures on earth belonging to the most popular insect order Odonata .Odonata constitute a small well known order of insects that are widely distributed over the world .A study was carried out to assess the Odonata fauna of Randam Puncha wetland near Kulanada in Pathanamthitta district from the first week of April to second week of June 2016. A total of 18 species of Odonates representing 3 families were recorded from Randam Puncha, Kulanada during the study period. Dragon flies represented by the families Libellulidae and Gomphidae and damsel flies represented by the family Coenagrionidae were observed. Acisoma panorpoides, Aethrimanta brevipennis, Brachydiplax chalybea, Rhyothemis veriegata and Orthetrum sabina were the common dragon flies spotted on the site. On the basis of total number of individuals recorded,Libellulidae was the most dominant family. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index recorded a higher value of 2.405 in Randam Puncha and the Margalef species richness was 2.409. The values of Pielou’s evenness index 0.652 showed medium even distribution of species; the dominance index recorded was 0.895. Even though any rare or endangered species were not recorded in the present study, the Randam Puncha wetland showed rich odonate diversity and abundance. Keywords: Odonata, Dragonfly, Damselfly, Diversity Indices INTRODUCTION species have been reported within the The order Odonata comprising both geographic limits of India so far (Joshi et dragonflies and damselflies are believed to al.,2017).

The significance of most important taxonomic features of penis i.e. Simarjit Kaur lateral lobes, medial process and apical lobes have been emphasized. Department of Zoology & Environmental Sciences, Keywords: Male genitalia, Neurothemis, Libellulidae Punjabi University, Patiala, India Introduction The genus Neurothemis Brauer was proposed by Brauer (1867, 1867a) with fulvia (Drury) as its type species. Prior to this, a genus Polyneura was established by Rambur in 1842 for placement of few species earlier referred under genus Libellula Linnaeus. However, Brauer synonymised the genus Polyneura under the present genus and this arrangement was accepted by all later workers. From the Indian limits, 2 species and 4 subspecies of the present genus, viz. fluctuans Fabricius, fulvia (Drury), intermedia intermedia (Rambur), intermedia degener Selys, intermedia atlanta Ris and tullia tullia (Drury) are known. In the present work, the genus is represented by fluctuans Fabricius, fulvia (Drury), intermedia intermedia (Rambur) and tullia tullia (Drury), as distribution of other species of this genus is confined to Eastern India.
