Although considered one of the most widespread dragonflies in the world, Pantala flavescens is rarely recorded in Europe and only irregularly observed in the eastern Mediterranean. The first published records of P. flavescens from Cyprus date back to 1957. There are no further published records from Cyprus until 2010 when a single individual and a copula were observed. The latter is also the first record of reproductive activity of the species in the eastern Mediterranean. Since the systematic monitoring of Odonata in Cyprus began in 2013, P. flavescens has been recorded on the island every year with one to 13 records each year from 2013 to 2017, 45 in 2018, and with a significant increase to 146 records in 2019, giving a total of 237 records. Reproductive behaviour of P. flavescens has been observed 19 times on Cyprus and in 2018 we found a larva and a teneral male. Oviposition mode showed high plasticity and was observed in five cases in non-contact guarding behaviour; five times females were ovipositing alone (unguarded oviposition) and oviposition in tandem was seen only once. Our observations are the first proof of successful reproduction of P. flavescens in the eastern Mediterranean.","PeriodicalId":54689,"journal":{"name":"Odonatologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44236446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has a charismatic appeal for European and North American odonatologists as it is one most difficult species to encounter, especially in Europe (Hämäläinen 2015). It was thought to be confined to high latitudes within or near the Arctic Circle until Belyshev & Ovodov (1961) discovered it at a latitude of 51°45’N in Irkutsk Province in Russia. Since then, evidence has accumulated indicating that the species’ range extends to the mountains of southern Siberia and the northern Khabarovskiy Kray (Kosterin 1992; Schröter 2011). The geographical distribution of the species was thoroughly reviewed by Schröter (2011), who provides detailed and precise maps of its known localities for the northern hemisphere in general, including Europe, Siberia and North America.

We recorded 37 species at 87 localities, including new localities for some species of regional interest. Information on all observed Odonata species was recorded including their life stage, behaviour, habitat and water characteristics. Exuviae were also systematically collected. Urothemis thomasi was discovered at several new sites in the Hajar Mountains, the Dhofar and the Al Wusta regions, filling in the gap between the Dhofar and the Muscat area. In addition, new localities for two Arabian endemics: Arabicnemis caerulea and Arabineura khalidi were found, with their occurrence in the Dhofar region extending their known area and demonstrating that A. khalidi cannot be regarded as a strict Hajar endemic. Important differences were noticed in the species composition of formerly surveyed localities, which may be ascribed to habitat degradation through management directed towards human recreation. Lastly, the well-known and diverse zoogeographical influences of Omani and the Emirati odonatofauna are confirmed with a large set of species of African origin in the Dhofar and a smaller set of species of Indomalayan origin visiting both the P.

A recent study performed with sequences of mtDNA suggested the presence of one panmictic population of the species at a global scale. However, combining mitochondrial and nuclear markers could offer more information about the genetic variability of populations. Here, we sequenced a fragment of the COI gene and genotyped eight microsatellite loci in order to analyze the population genetic structure and diversity in individuals collected in Central America (two sites in Costa Rica, separated by 147 km) and two localities in South America (one site in Chile and one in Peru, separated by 52 km). The global F-ST estimated from COI and microsatellite data showed no evidence of genetic structure. Furthermore, an Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) performed with both COI and microsatellites also showed no evidence of genetic structure despite the >5 000 km of distance between both geographic regions. These results suggest an extraordinary movement of P. flavescens along the American continent, thus corroborating the previous study conducted on this species.","PeriodicalId":54689,"journal":{"name":"Odonatologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43654212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larvae were identified by matching the mitochondrial marker COI with that of known adult specimens from several localities throughout Sarawak. The specimens presented close matches with all adults in this gene. Despite the disparity in maturity of the specimens several morphological differences, likely to be reflected in the mature larva of C. campioni, are identified. Comparisons with known larval descriptions of other Coeliccia species are provided.
