OF THE ODONATA OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
The current knowledge on the Odonata fauna of Bosnia and Herzegovina is summarized based on museum and private collections, literature and new unpublished data of the authors. In all, 63 spp. are known, including first reports of Platycnemis pennipes nitidula, Anax parthenope, Gomphus flavipes, G. schneiderii, Cordulegaster heros and Selysiothemis nigra for the country. Caliaeschna microstigma is rediscovered after more than 100 yr. The first reliable data on the occurrence of Somatochlora metallica is reported. More than 1,400 new records were collected and a national odonatol. database has been created. Annotations to the new spp. and to some other faunistically interesting species are given.
