Abstract

The species has been recorded at three localities in the extreme eastern part of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, north-eastern Italy, thus bringing the number of Italian dragonfly species to 89. The distribution of C. heros in Slovenia and Italy is mapped and discussed from the zoogeographical point of view. Additionally, the collected faunistic data on other dragonfly species and sympatric occurrence of endangered frog species Rana latastei Boulenger are given. Due to inclusion of C. heros and R. latastei to the Annexes II and IV of the Habitat Directive of EU, the conservation of their habitats in Italy and western Slovenia is proposed within the European network of protected areas NATURA 2000.Vrsta je bila ugotovljena na treh lokalitetah v skrajnem vzhodnem delu Furlanije-Julijske krajine, severovzhodna Italija, kar dviguje število zabeleženih vrst kačjih pastirjev v Italiji na 89. Razširjenost vrste C. heros v Sloveniji in Italiji je prikazana na zemljevidih ter prediskutirana z zoogeografskega stališča. Dodatno so navedeni tudi zbrani favnistični podatki o drugih vrstah kačjih pastirjev ter podatki o simpatričnem pojavljanju ogrožene laške žabe Rana latastei Boulenger. Zaradi vključitve vrst C. heros in R. latastei na Dodatka II in IV Habitatne Direktive EU je predlagano, da se njuna bivališča v Italiji in zahodni Sloveniji ohranijo v okviru evropskega omrežja zavarovanih območij NATURA 2000.
