Nepal Odonata Checklist
Calicnemia doonensis carminea |
As more young scientists and enthusiasts become interested in Odonata in Nepal the number of sightings and new records will probably continue to increase. The first complete checklist was made thirty-one years ago by G. Vick. A new regional, six-country, checklist for 2020 is complete. This will be very helpful in determining species in the surrounding countries as well as in Nepal.
Color codes: species in orange are found in this blog; blue is for endemic; red? is for a questionable record. Within the blog is information on the elevation and habitat of the recorded species.
