The study was carried out in Mata do Baú, an environment characterized by the presence of semideciduous Montane Forest, gallery forests along the Rio das Mortes river, and savannah (Menini-Neto et al. 2004). Comprising an area of 400 ha, Mata do Baú is the largest fragment of native forest in Barroso, situated in the Campos-das-Vertentes region in center-south Minas Gerais mesotermic according to Köppen, characterized by humid summers(21°11’13” and S, 43°58’34” dry winters.

Taking 61%, indicatingour knowledge that about the Odonata fauna in environments similar to those of the Mata do Baú into account, we can state that further collection efforts would certainly allow other species to be found, especially in the Rio das Mortes,. in which one or two species of Neoneura, one species of Elasmothemis, and other species of Gomphidae possibly occur. One should also consider that, when analyzed separately, the estimator 01 Jack differs from that of the collected species curve (cole) and indicates the stability of the species collected Figure 5.
