Abstract
In this present communication we report the occurrence of additional 13 Odonate species from the Asansol-Durgapur Industrial Area, West Bengal, India, making the total 76. This paper reports the first record of Libellago indica (Fraser, 1928) and first photographic records of Macromia flavicincta Selys, 1874 from West Bengal. It also reports the range extension of Macromia cingulata Rambur, 1842 from the Purulia District to Paschim Bardhaman District.
Highlights
We report an additional 13 species found from the same region, the aim of the present study is to update the checklist of the Odonata fauna of Asansol-Durgapur industrial area
Due to the geographical position of the region, a microclimatic variation can be noted (Choudhury et al 2018; Gupta et al 2019) and it reflects itself in the Odonata diversity of the region
We strongly believe that through continuous studies and long-term observation in more study points, new records for the state can be found from the region which will enrich the Odonata diversity of the state too, even we can describe some new species to science
Summary
We report an additional 13 species found from the same region, the aim of the present study is to update the checklist of the Odonata fauna of Asansol-Durgapur industrial area
