Recent Collections of Odonata from the Kuril Islands

Abstract

17 species of Odonata were collected in 1994-1996 from 21 localities in the Kuril Islands. Mnais pruinosa. Aeshna nigroflava, Cordulia aenea, and Pseudothemis zonata are first records from the archipelago, and the last species represents a significant range extension from Honshu. Enallagma belyshevi is synonymized with E. circulatum, which is considered a valid species rather than a subspecies of E. boreale. (Authors) Libellula quadrimaculata asahinai Schmidt, 1957 is considered a poorly differentiated subspecies
