Checklist de Odonata do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Odonata checklist of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brasil. We recorded 198 species of Odonata for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, distributed in ten families: Calopterygidae (6 spp.), Coenagrionidae (58 spp.), Dicteriadidae (1 sp.), Lestidae (5 spp.), Protoneuridae (10 spp.), Pseudostigmatidae (1 sp.), Aeshinidae (8 spp.), Corduliidae (1 sp.), Gomphidae (13 spp.), and Libellulidae (95 spp.), the fi rst record of one family, six genus and 33 species for the state are included.

Dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) from a Cerrado area at Triângulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…For instance, in our study, Acanthagrion lancea, A. truncatum, Oxyagrion microstigma and, Telebasis carmesina (Coenagrionidae), represented 50% of all collected specimens. These species were also widely found at Cerrado area in other studies (Ferreira-Peruquetti & Fonseca-Gessner 2003, Calvão et al 2014, Dutra & De Marco 2015, Rodrigues & Roque 2017. Females of these Coenagrionidae species oviposits in aquatic plants from Eleocharis genera (Guillermo-Ferreira & Del-Claro 2011, Vilela et al 2016), which were commonly found at aquatic habitats in the study area.…”

Odonates from Bodoquena Plateau: checklist and information about endangered species

“…Such data establish a baseline of biodiversity and ecological information, which allow their application in conservation strategies. The list of species shown here represents 55.77% of all species recorded for Mato Grosso do Sul (199 species) (Rodrigues & Roque 2017, Rodrigues et al 2016a, and is a significant advance in comparison with previous accounts (Souza 2013, Dalzochio et al 2011a, Dalzochio et al 2011b, increasing by 42 odonate species list of Bodoquena Plateau region.…”

“…We found that Phyllogomphoides suspectus Belle, 1994 represents a new records of odonate species for Mato Grosso do Sul state, compared with the list published by Rodrigues & Roque (2017). The genus Phyllogomphoides Belle, 1970, is composed of 45 species in the Neotropical Region, 29 of these in South America (Belle 1994).…”

“…Local inventories are recorded to several parts of Brazil like São Paulo (Costa et al 2000), Espirito Santo (Costa & Oldrini 2005), Rio de Janeiro (Anjos-Santos & Costa 2006), Goiás and Distrito Federal (Nóbrega & De Marco 2011), Minas Gerais (Souza et al 2013), and Rio Grande do Sul (Renner et al 2016). In Mato Grosso do Sul, state originally covered by Cerrado,Pantanal,Atlantic Forest and Chaco vegetation,198 odonatan species were registered (Rodrigues & Roque 2017). Despite this number, information gaps are recognized from many areas in this state ( Bodoquena Plateau is a threatened area in the Mato Grosso do Sul state because of the broad conversion of natural areas to pastures and croplands (Roque et al 2016).…”

“…Until 2011, about 68 Odonata species were registered to Bodoquena Plateau; a number that was considered underestimated because of the broad unsampled area (Dalzochio et al 2011b). Therefore, even with the publications of checklists (Dalzochio et al 2011a, Dalzochio et al 2011b, Rodrigues & Roque 2017, the amount of information generated by these new sampling efforts and visits to museums demand an update.…”
