“…Brazilian Odonata fauna is still poorly described since the published records cover only 29% of the territory (De Marco and Vianna 2005) and species lists are available only for São Paulo (Costa et al 2000), Espírito Santo (Costa and Oldrini 2005) and Mato Grosso (Calvão et al 2014). Kittel and Engels (2014) is the most recent study for Rio Grande do Sul, comprising only the suborder Zygoptera, so the knowledge on species occurrence of Southern Brazil is still limited.…”

A survey of Odonata was carried out in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul: the Taquari River valley. This region was originally covered by deciduous and Semi-deciduous Atlantic Forest, which today only exist in a highly fragmented environment mainly due to agricultural activities. Our survey was conducted in 12 municipalities from this region, between March 2011 and April 2013. Aiming a general overview of the species composition, our sampling sites included lakes, bogs, small streams and river sections, all inside or surrounded by small forest fragments or forest areas. Fifty species of Odonata were collected comprising 29 genera and seven families. The dominant families were Libellulidae (40%) and Coenagrionidae (36%), while Aeshindae, Gomphidae and Lestidae each only comprise 6% of the total number of species. The findings revealed the presence of a highly diverse odonate assemblage, mainly represented by generalist species in human disturbed fragments and a few forest specialist species in the best preserved remnants only.

“…The species can be easily confused with its congener Diastatops intensa Montgomery, 1940, which also occurred at the same localities. This species is known from many countries in South America, including Paraguay and Argentina (Heckman 2006); from Brazil there are records from, MG (Bedê et al 2015, Vilela et al 2016, MS (Dalzochio et al 2011), MT (Calvão et al 2014), RJ (Kompier 2015) and SP (Costa et al 2000). The species probably occurs in all Brazilian states, but was not previously detected in RS due to lack of sampling.…”

“…This species also has a wide distribution since there are records from many countries in South America. In Brazil the records are from several states: MG (Bedê et al 2015), MS (Dalzochio et al 2011), MT (Calvão et al 2014), RJ (Assis et al 2004, Kompier 2015 and SP (Costa et al 2000). Ris, 1911 (Libellulidae) This is a tiny libellulid species whose males have bright yellowish colors that make the identification easy in the field.…”

“…The Odonata fauna in Brazil is moderately known in terms of species occurrence and distribution: only 29% of the country's territory is adequately surveyed, according to De Marco & Vianna (2005), but this number is probably outdated. For the southeast and central regions several species lists are available (e.g., Costa et al 2000, Costa & Oldrini 2005, Anjos-Santos & Costa 2006, Calvão et al 2014, Bedê et al 2015, while in the southern part of Brazil these studies are more scarce, the most recently published are Kittel & Engels (2014) and Renner et al (2015Renner et al ( , 2016aRenner et al ( , 2016b, which were all conducted in the Atlantic Forest biome. Thus, we were motivated to increase the knowledge of species occurrence to the Pampa biome, the southernmost part of Brazil, where no survey of Odonata has previously been made.…”

An inventory of Odonata was carried out in the southern half of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the Pampa biome. Originally, this biogeographical region was covered mostly by open fields and grassland, with sections of higher vegetation surrounding water bodies and rocky hills. Today the landscape is fragmented due to agricultural activities, mainly cattle farming, rice crops and forest plantations. Our survey was conducted in three municipalities from this region, between March 2015 and April 2016. Aiming at a general overview of the species composition, our sampling sites were selected on a wide basis, including lakes, bogs, temporary water bodies, small streams and river sections. Eighty two species of Odonata were collected comprising 40 genera and seven families. The dominant families were Libellulidae (56,1%), Coenagrionidae (24,5%) and Aeshnidae (7,3%). We found a diverse odonate assemblage, adding 19 new species records for the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

“…The Brazilian Odonata are still poorly described, despite a few publications with ecological approach, species lists are known only from São Paulo (Costa et al 2000); Espírito Santo (Costa & Oldrini 2005); Minas Gerais (Souza et al 2013) for Mata do Baú specifically; and Mato Grosso (Calvão et al 2014) this last one being restricted only to a small region of the state. The most recent Odonata inventory for the state of Rio Grande do Sul is , for the central region, and Kittel & Engels (2014), from a nature reserve (Pró-mata/PUCRS), with sampling performed only in open areas in forest surroundings and restricted to the Zygoptera suborder.…”

A survey of Odonata was carried out in the National Forest FLONA - SFP, Northeastern region of the Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. This conservation unit is mainly covered by Mixed Ombrophilous Forest (MOF), a subtype of Atlantic Forest biome, being also areas covered in planted Pinus, planted Araucaria and open fields. Our sampling efforts were conducted in thirty aquatic environments inside this reserve during the period between January 2014 and November 2014. The sampling sites were selected randomly, comprehending lakes, bogs, small streams and river sections, all inserted in the four vegetation types occurring in the reserve. Fortysix species of Odonata were collected and grouped into 23 genera and seven families. The dominant families were Coenagrionidae (32%), Libellulidae (32%), Aeshnidae (12%), and, Calopterygidae and Lestidae (9%). As expected, the findings revealed the presence of a highly diverse Odonate assemblage, mainly represented by generalist species in the most human disturbed sectors (Pinus and Open fields) and some specialist species in the pristine forest. Two species were registered for the first time in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: Libellula herculea Karsch, 1889 (Libellulidae) and Heteragrion luizfelipei Machado, 2006 (Heteragrionidae).
