Dragonflies and Damselflies (Insecta, Odonata) of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh States, India.
The bulk of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh lies on the tableland of central India and gifted with diverse habitats for Odonate diversity. A check-list of 106 species of Odonata belonging to 53 genera representing to 12 families of which 14 species were new records. The highest number of Odonate were recorded belonging to the family Libellulidae (39 species), followed by Coenagrionidae (29 species), Gomphidae, (10 species), Protoneuridae (5 species ) and Lestidae (6 species), Calopterygidae and Aeshnidae (4 species of each), Chlorocyphidae (3 species), Platycnemididae, Macromiidae (2 species) and Euphaeidae and Corduliidae (one species). The study provides the baseline data of Odonate diversity of states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh for the conservation and research on their biology.
Dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India
Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2022
The present study was carried out to reveal the odonate diversity in Jabalpur city and its surrounding area in Madhya Pradesh, central India. During the study period of 2008–2019 a total of 75 species of odonates belonging to two suborders and nine families were recorded. Twenty-one new species were recorded for Jabalpur district and four for Madhya Pradesh; 37% (28) species were abundant or very common, 19% (14) were common, 16% (12) were frequent, 24% (18) rare, and 4% (3) very rare. The maximum number of odonates were found in family Libellulidae (n= 32), followed by Coenagrionidae (n= 17), Gomphidae (n= 09), Platycenemididae (n= 06), Aeshnidae (n= 05), Lestidae (n= 03), Macromiidae (n= 02), and Chlorocyphidae (n= 01). Of 75 species recorded from Jabalpur city, 72 come under the IUCN Red List. Among them, Indothemis carnatica come under Near Threatened (NT) category, 65 species come under Least Concern (LC) Category, six species under Data Deficient (DD), and three species remain not assessed. The study supports the value of the city area in providing habitat for Odonata.
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata: Insecta) of the Seloo city, Wardha, Maharashtra, Central India
Arthropods, 2022
Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) species diversity was studied in the Seloo city from 2011 to 2021. Its geographical location is 20083'73''N; 78070'70''E; 265 m. A total of 62 species of odonates belonging to 2 Suborders and 8 families were recorded. The highest number of odonates belong to the family Libellulidae (30 species) followed by Coenagrionidae (13 species), Aeshnidae (5 species), Gomphidae (4 species), Platycenemididae (3 species) and Lestidae (4 species), Macromiidae (2 species) and Chlorocyphidae (1 species). Of the total, 30 species were abundant or very common, 16 were common, 6 were not rare, 7 rare and 3 very rare. Among all, 3 species were Data Deficient, Indothemis carnatica (Fabricius, 1798) are listed as Near Threatened and 57 were least concern in IUCN red-list of threatened species. The observations support the value of the Seloo city area in providing valuable resources for Odonata.

CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research - Zenodo, 2022
A checklist of the odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) occurring in the upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone of the state Assam from gathered published work is presented in this paper. The scientific name, common name, distribution and the conservation status of the species were compiled in tabular form. Odonates diversity in the upper Brahmaputra Valley zone of Assam comprised of 101 species under 11 families. In the region, Anisoptera (Dragonflies) were dominant with 55 species over Zygoptera (Damselflies) with 46 species.

Dragonfly and damselfly (Odonata) species diversity was studied in the Bor wildlife sanctuary from 2011 to 2018. A total of 72 species of odonates belonging to 8 families were recorded. The study adds three new species for the Vidarbha region. The highest number of odonates belonged to the family Libellulidae (31 species) followed by Coenagrionidae (15 species), and Aeshnidae (six species). Of the total, 30 species were very common, 18 were common, seven were frequent common, 11 rare and six very rare. Among all, six species were Data Deficient, Indothemis carnatica (Fabricius, 1798) is listed as Near Threatened and 64 were Least Concern, in IUCN red-list of threatened species. The observations support the value of the wildlife sanctuary area in providing valuable resources for Odonata.
A total of 72 species of odonates belonging to 45 genera of 2 Suborders and 9 families were recorded. Among them, previously unrecorded 10 species were included in the checklist of Nagpur city and one species (Ictinogomphus distinctus) were included in the checklist of Maharashtra State. Family Libellulidae (35 species) with five new records (Diplacodes lefebvrii, Indothemis carnatica, Neurothemis intermedia, Trithemis kirbyi, Urothemis signata), 17 species from Family Coenagrionidae with one new record (Pseudagrion spencei). In family Aeshnidae six species were recorded. Family Gomphidae only four species with two new records (Anormogomphus heteropterus, Ictinogomphus distinctus). Macromiidae two species were recorded with new species (Macromia flavicincta). Two species were recorded from Protoneuridae with one new species ( Prodasineura verticalis), Two species were recorded from family Platycenemididae, From Family Lestidae two species were recorded, one species recorded in Chlorocyphidae.

Records of Dragonflies & Damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) from Gondia district, Maharashtra, India
Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
The Vidarbha region of India harbours a significant amount of biodiversity. However, the region still severely lacks data on lesser-known taxa such as odonates (dragonflies and damselflies). To partially fill in the knowledge gap on odonates, opportunistic surveys were conducted across nine sites in the Gondia district of Vidarbha between 2019 and 2021. In this report, the presence of 35 species from the study area, representing around 1/4 th of the total odonate diversity of Maharashtra is recorded. The results are indicative of the need for consistent sampling efforts in the region. Further systematic and long-term monitoring studies on odonates in Vidarbha Region are proposed.
