“…In the present study, 37 species of Odonata were recorded in the Maracaju Hills, contributing to knowledge on the fauna of the region and increasing the number of species for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul to 212 , Rodrigues et al 2018. The new record of A. molossus, E. mithroides and O. basale broadens its distribution to the state.…”

“…Considering studies by and Rodrigues et al (2018), the state of Mato Grosso do Sul has records of the occurrence of 209 species of Odonata. The present investigation corresponds to 17.7% of this fi gure, which can be considered intermediate richness compared to other surveys conducted in the state.…”

“…Approximately 800 species are found in Brazil and are distributed among 14 families and 128 genera (Souza et al 2007). According to Koroiva et al (2017), and Rodrigues et al (2018), 209 species have proven occurrence in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. However, there are gaps in knowledge, as few regions have been explored and little information is available on richness and distribution, including the region that serves as the study area in the present investigation.…”

The scarcity of studies on fauna inventories, especially those addressing insects, is a large problem in many regions of Brazil. To contribute to taxonomic knowledge and broaden the distribution of the order Odonata, we present a survey of odonate fauna of the Maracaju Hills in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Ten samplings were performed between September 2013 and April 2015, totaling 38 h of active searches. A total of 386 individuals belonging to five families, 21 genera and 37 species were collected. Eleven species belonged to the suborder Zygoptera and 26 belonged to the suborder Anisoptera. The family Libellulidae was the richest and most abundant (25 species; 285 individuals), followed by Coenagrionidae (nine spp.; 81 individuals). Lestidae, Gomphidae and Calopterygidae were each represented by a single species and totaled little more than 5% of the overall sample. Among the genera, Erythrodiplax stood out in terms of richness (eight spp.), followed by Erythemis (three spp.). The most abundant species were Erythrodiplax paraguayensis (N = 75), Erythrodiplax famula (n = 50), Ischnura fluviatilis (N = 48) and Micrathyria spuria (N = 45). The sampling effort represented by the species accumulation curve indicated that the richness of Odonata is close to actual richness, since the curve approached the asymptotic one. Aphylla molossus, Erythemis mithroides and Oxyagrion basale constitutes new records for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, raising the richness of the state to 212 species.

“…In addition, two other species, Proceratophrys dibernardoi (Ferreira et al 2016) and Ameerega berohoka (Sant'anna et al 2017), were recently recorded in two sites of Mato Grosso do Sul State. Thus, such as in other animal groups (e.g., Koroiva et al 2017, Rodrigues et al 2018, new inventories should still increase the number of species recorded for both Cerrado and humid Chaco in the state.…”

Herein, we present an updated inventory and the variations of frog communities' composition from five areas of humid Chaco and Cerrado in municipality of Porto Murtinho, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. This municipality is located in an area with three ecoregions: Chaco, Cerrado and Pantanal. Through acoustic and visual nocturnal/diurnal and pitfall evaluations from a period of over five years, we recorded 31 species in the Cerrado and 29 species in the humid Chaco. About 90% of the species were previously registered in the municipality of Porto Murtinho. A non-metric multidimensional analysis based on a presence/absence matrix revealed a separation in our sampling sites and communities with Cerrado and humid Chaco characteristics. This peculiarity in the species composition must be related to the transition zone, with the presence of mixed species characteristics of Cerrado and humid Chaco in both areas in the municipality of Porto Murtinho experiences a high degree of deforestation pressure, which threatens both the Cerrado and humid Chaco vegetation. This highlights the importance of knowledge actions about the richness and composition of species, corroborating ecological tools to support conservation in this region.

“…In Brazil, various studies have been carried out with Odonates in recent years, contributing to the knowledge on diff erent biomes (Miguel et al 2017), although said studies are generally concentrated close to sites off ering access, infrastructure and logistics. A total of 209 species have been listed for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul , Rodrigues et al 2018a. However, there are many gaps in the knowledge, with few regions having been explored and a scarcity of systematized collections, with little information in respect to richness and distribution (Costa et al 2000, Rodrigues et al 2018a.…”

Knowing the biodiversity of a given site is the first step in establishing strategies for its conservation, monitoring and sustainable use. The objective of the present study was to catalogue the Odonata community of two ponds in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone area. Collections were carried out between October 2012 and September 2013, encompassing different hydrological seasons. This study presents the first systematized survey of Odonata for lentic environments in the region. A total of 347 individuals were recorded, distributed in 41 species, 22 genera and three families. The suborder Zygoptera was represented by the Coenagrionidae and Lestidae families, while the suborder Anisoptera was represented by the Libellulidae family. The Acanthagrion, Erythemis and Erythrodiplax genera were the most representative. The results indicate that there is seasonality in the occurrence of the species. The wide diversity found in lentic environments emphasizes the importance of long-term monitoring of these ecosystems, in order to understand the effect of seasonality and of anthropic alterations to the surrounding environment on the Odonata community.
