An annotated checklist of the Odonata of Turkey

In addition to the checklist, spp. of which the taxonomic status has changed, or with significant changes in the known distribution, are annotated. At present a total of 96 spp. (6 of which are divisible into 2 or more sspp.) are now known to occur in Turkey with certainty, and at least 15 spp. and an additional 5 sspp. are to be expected. Ischnura fountaineae is new to the Turkish fauna. The sole Turkish record of Ophiogomphus cecilia pertains to O. reductus which is here mentioned for the first time from Turkish territory.
