Checklist of Dragonflies Potentially Found at QUBS and Environs

A revised checklist (July 2009) of dragonflies (1 MB)
By Mark Conboy, Kit Muma, Bruce Smith and Floyd Connor of species known or expected to occur at QUBS.

Listed below are the species recorded in Odonata of Canada and Alaska, reported from this region of Ontario (Frontenac, Leeds, Lanark counties), and/or identified in the vicinity of the station. 

Species recorded within the vicinity of the station are indicated (by Dave Bell, Floyd Connor, Wanda Cook, Kelvin Conrad, Mark Forbes, Nancy Gerrish, Barb Hilder, Bruce Smith, or deposited in the station museum). 

Please indicate which species you can confidently report as having seen, and I will add this information to an updated version of this checklist. 

Less common species not recorded from these three counties (thus not listed) may yet be found in this region; please watch for Somatochlora spp., Williamsonia fletcheri, Sympetrum spp., Aeshna spp., and Gomphus spp., and any species typical of flowing water. 

47 species have been confirmed (*), of a possible 54.
