Dragonflies and damselflies (Insecta: Odonata) of Chhattisgarh, India
Check List, 2014
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.

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.
The Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Kerala -Status and Distribution
ENTOMON, 2021
The odonate fauna of Kerala, their status and distribution are reviewed. Based on personal records from field work since 2010 and published literature, all the recent additions and range extensions to the region are critically analyzed and a revised checklist of odonates of Western Ghats and Kerala is provided. The current checklist of odonates of the Western Ghats stands at 207 species, including 80 endemics. A total of 181 species of Odonates, including 68 Western Ghats endemics, belonging to 87 genera under two suborders and 14 families were recorded from the geographical boundary of Kerala. The suborder Zygoptera comprises 74 species of damselflies (30 genera in seven families) and the suborder Anisoptera has 107 species (57 genera in seven families). Endemic species and those in IUCN Red List categories are enlisted. None of the odonate species from the region are protected under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) 1972. A detailed discussion on odonates occurring in Kerala has been provided in the systematic part.
The objective of the present study is to explore the diversity of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) in Athagarh Forest Division, Odisha. Odonates were studied from January 2015 to March 2015. In this survey a total of 56 species of odonates were recorded, including 31 species of dragonflies (Sub order: Anisoptera) belonging to 3 families and 25 species of Damselflies (Sub order: Zygoptera) belonging to 5 families. Among these species, Libelluidae and Coenagrionidae were the dominant families with maximum number of species being 26 and 17 respectively.
