Addition to the Odonata fauna of Tripura, India
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study was conducted in nine different locations (forested areas and unclassified natural areas) of six administrative districts of Tripura State from March 2012 to May 2019 as part of the biodiversity exploration of the state for further addition of odonate fauna. In this communication, we report six species of Anisoptera and seven species of Zygoptera as new records from Tripura State. Among these 13 newly recorded species, one Anisoptera and two Zygoptera species are Data Deficient and the rest are Least Concern according to IUCN Red List.
