The dominance order of Odonata was Pantala flavescens (44.40%) > Diplacodes trivialis (22.70%) > Orthetrum chrysis (7.40%) while rest of the fauna ranged from (1.40 to 6.90%). Pantala flavescens was maximum during NEM (50.0%) followed by summer and winter (43.8% each) and minimum during SWM (38.5%). Margalef Index of Species Richness was highest (2.00) during winter.

  • Endemic Odonata of India
    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 100 (Part 3-4) : 189-199,2002 ENDEMIC ODONATA OF INDIA TRIom RANJAN MITRA Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700 053 INTRODUCTION The Order Odonata, popularly known as dragonflies and damselflies, is a primitive group of insects and occurs in different ecosystems. In India about five hundred species and subspecies occur. India has a landmass with an area of approximately 32,67,500 sq. km. including the arcuate chain of Andaman and Nicobar Islands; the Laccadives (Lakshadweeps) and Minicoy islands in the Arabian sea. The main landmass is divided into the Himalayan mountain chain in the North, isolating the country from the rest of Asia; this is followed by the monotonous highly populated Indo-Gangetic plain which ends in the Bay of Bengal. The last is a triangular plateau of old peninsular upland. ZOO-CENTRES AND ENDEMISM Endemics occur only in a particular area. According to Roonwal and Verma (1977) endemic species have evolved locally; and Hutchinson (1957) has considered that endemics remain confined in their 'fundamental niche' where they can survive for indefinite period. According to Emerson (1955) endemic genera occur in a vast zoogeographic area. Indian odonate fauna although largely borrowed from Malaysian subregion but some forms viz. Zygonyx of Ethiopian region and Hemicordulia of Australian region have made their way to India. Kiauta (1984) has opined that members of the family Chlorocyphidae have reached India from their place of origin at Malaysian subregion. India has also zoo-centres of its own (Mitra 2000b). For example according to Lieftinck (1984) members of the genus Calicnemia Strand have originated and radiated from the Himalayan regIon.

Copyright (FAMIL K.A.Subramanian,Y 2005.: COENAGRIONIDAE) MARSH DARTS (FAMILY: COENAGRIONIDAE) Marsh darts are slender and small damselflies with varied colouration. These non-iridescent damselflies rest with wings closed over their body. The wings are transparent and rounded at the tip. The long and slender abdomen is slightly longer than the hind wing. Some of the smallest damselflies like the Golden Dartlet (Ischnura aurora) is from this family. Marsh Darts are found throughout the world. World over, this family is represented by about 1147 species. Within Indian limits, 65 species are known and in peninsular India 25 species are recorded. The marsh darts breed in a variety of aquatic habitats like ponds, marshes, streams and Photo:E.Kunhikrishnan rivers. Though most of the species are closely associated with aquatic habitats, some Golden Dartlets mating species like the Common Marsh Dart (Ceriagrion coromandelianum) can be found far away from any aquatic habitat.

Hitherto, no species are known to breed in phytotelmata in India. However, field studies conducted in the southern Western Ghats revealed thatLyriothemis tricolor Ris, 1919 (Libellulidae) uses tree holes as a larval habitat.

INTRODUCTION The 1909is in the which genus Hylaeothemis R1S, placed Tetrathemistinae, was for a time considered in the based long a primitive group Libellulidae, mainly on venation in his of the African wing (FRASER, 1957).

    Libellenbücher – “Rest” der Welt Abbott John C. (Mai 2011) Damselflies of Texas: A Field Guide (Texas Natural History Guides) BA Klein (Illustrator) 292 S. On any warm summer day, you can easily observe damselflies around a vegetated pond or the rocks along the banks of a stream. Like the more familiar dragonfly, damselflies are among the most remarkably distinctive insects in their appearance & biology, & they have become one of the most popular creatures sought by avocational naturalists. Damselflies of Texas is the first field guide dedicated specifically to the species found in Texas. It covers 77 of the 138 species of damselflies known in North America, making it a very useful guide for the entire United States. Each species account includes: illustrations of as many forms (male, female, juvenile, mature, & colour morphs) as possible; common & scientific names, with pronunciation; distribution map; key features; identifying characteristics; discussion of similar species; status in Texas; habitat, seasonality, & general comments In addition to photographing damselflies in the wild, the author & illustrator have developed a new process for illustrating each species by scanning preserved specimens & digitally painting them. The resulting illustrations show detail that is not visible in photographs. The book also contains chapters on damselfly anatomy, life history, conservation, names, & photography, as well as a list of species that may eventually be discovered in Texas, state & global conservation rankings, seasonality of all species in chronological order & additional resources & publications on identification of damselflies 22 € Abbott, John C (2015) Dragonflies of Texas: A Field Guide. Including nearly half of all dragonfly species found in North America, here is the definitive field guide to the dragonflies of Texas, which will be a valuable resource for naturalists throughout the region.
