A note on the odonate collection in the Entomology Division of the Department of Agriculture, Nepal

A brief outline is given of the aims of the Nepalese Museum of Entomology, Lalitpur, with an annotated list of 11 odonate species harboured in its collections. Among these, Nannophya pygmaea Ramb. is new to the Nepalese fauna, while Rhinocypha bifasciata Sel, had been recorded only once previously from the Nepalese territory. A bibliography of papers on the Nepalese odonate fauna, published after World War II, is added.
