Mato Grosso, Brasilien Odonata

Odonata from Mato Grosso, Brasilien (Odonata) - a selection

FastCounter by bCentral

This lot of odonata from Mato Grosso, Brasilien, has included more then 320 odonata. They were given to my by Ninko Naidenow, Kiel, Germany. The odonata were captured from 1993 to 1995 during a scientific project of the University Kiel (leader: Matthias Wantzen).

1. The differentiation of the females of Mnesarete fuscibasis and Hetaerina curvicauda: I have ask Rosser Garrison, USA, for possibilities to differentiate the females of these both species. Then, he has sent hitherto unpublished paintings from Mnesarete females to me. Up to this date he has got only single specimens of the females of these species.

2. The identification of Epipleoneura metallica from Mato Grosso: This species is hitherto only known in South America north of the Amazonas in Venezuela and the Guayanas.

3. The identification of the Gomphidae from Mato Grosso has lead to some difficulties. Therefore, I have ask Jan van Tol and Jean Belle, Netherlands, and have sent again microphotos of the species in request.

On the results of the Mato Grosso project I have held a lecture at the "European Regional Meeting" from 9 to 10. July 2000 in Darmstadt, Germany.
