The author discusses one of the oldest well preserved collection of dragonflies from Poland, collected in the years 1899– 1915. Kolosov (1892–1943) was a Russian entomologist connected with the School of Agriculture and Forestry in Puławy. He published the description of migration of Libellula quadrimaculata through Puławy, mentioning incidentally 18 other species (Kolosov 1915). His collection is...
In the year 2011 Leucorrhinia pectoralis was recorded in the former borehole sulphur mine „Jeziórko” (E of Tarnobrzeg, south– eastern Poland). The species was observed in two drainage canals of mining subsidence (sites 1 and 3) as well as along the road running through the area of flood lands in mining subsidence (site 2). At sites 2 and 3 the species was very numerous (on May 28, more than 100 specimens...
The paper presents data from sout- hern Andalusia (Spain), from the period between 16.08 to 2.09.2011. It was at 8 sites during unsystematic observations which were conducted on the occasion on ornithological studies. Those were: 1. Bolonia (36°6’3,92” N, 5°43’58,12” W, UTM TE59); 2. Cabrito (36°3’19,05” N, 5°33’12,97” W, TE69); 3. La Peña (Valle de Santuario) (36°3’52,77” N, 5°38’52,35” W, TE69);...
Eurasian Baskettail Epitheca bimaculata (CHARPENTIER, 1825) is widely distributed in northern and eastern Poland. Its distribu- tion becomes more local towards the west and south. It is the first record of this spe- cies in Silesian Province. The total number of 7 exuviae was collected on the shores of ponds located close to Mochała on the ter- ritory of the “Forests over Upper Liswarta” Landscape...
Coenagrion armatum (CHARPENTIER, 1840) belongs to the critically endangered species in Poland. The main reasons for its regress are: drying out the habitats due to the climate and anthropopression as well as eutrophisation and the changes of space structure and species composition of veg- etation associated with this (BERNARD et al. 2009). The number of sites of this species in Poland is underestimated...
On 17 March 2012 at noon the author observed an individual of Sympecma sp. ovi- positing on a sunlit car, the colour of which was metallic caper green pearl. It repeatedly touched the surface of the car with the ventral side of the body for ca. 20–30 seconds. Than it sat on the car and after a while !ew away. Though oviposition on cars is well known in aquatic insects, there are relatively few such...
The inventory of dragon*ies was con- ducted on 244 sites in the Silesian Province in 2002–2012. The total number of 34 sites of Leucorrhinia pectoralis was found. This species is protected by law in Poland and a priority for the European program for hab- itats protection “Nature 2000”. The compar- ison of the present with historical data from the years 1958–1965 showed that L. pectoralis vanishes...
The authors give a new site of Nehalennia speciosa in north–eastern Poland: a transitional peat bog in Błaskowizna village (54°15’22”N, 22°49’19”E). On July 4 and 7, 2011 about 10 individuals of the species were observed, with territorial males in it. They inhabited the flooded depression in the center of the peat bog grown with Carex lasiocarpa swamp with addition of: Utricularia minor, Aldrovanda...
Four sites of Nehalennia speciosa have been known so far from Central and Eastern Roztocze as well as the Biłgorajska Plain (NE part of the Sandomierska Basin). In the years 2008–2011, next 7 sites were recorded. In contrary to the northern part of the occurrence of this species in Poland, here it occurs first of all in transitional peat bogs with small water bodies in the advanced stage of succession...
The authors give 17 new sites of Nehalennia speciosa discovered in the years 2010–2011 in central–eastern Poland. This data is essential due to poor level of studying of this area and the species itself: stenotopic, under protection and very strongly threatened in Poland (EN category on the Red list of dragonflies of Poland). Species co-occurring with Sedgling were also given, indicating autochthonous...
In the year 2012 a small autochthonic population of Leucorrhinia albifrons (BURMEISTER, 1839) was discovered in the area of the former underground mine of sulphur „Je- ziórko” (south-eastern Poland, 50°33’34”N, 21°48’00”E, UTM EB50). It inhabited one of the arti;cial water bodies created in the frames of reclamation of this area, situated in the depression, gathering +owing or dis- charging waters...
