Coenagrion armatum is a Siberian species whose south-western boundary of its distribution area goes through Poland. Formerly, it passed through the western part of the country. In the last 30–40 years it moped back ca. 300 km due to climatic and anthropogenic environmental changes. Currently, it runs through eastern regions – its putative form is shown on Fig. 1. The authors give five new sites of...
The author presents a list of Polish and dedicated to Poland odonatological papers that were published in the year 2010. In the reported time period, 65 papers of various kind were published, and 5 M.Sc. and 3 Bach. theses were written. One Bach. thesis written in the year 2009 is given too.
A new locality of Leucorrhinia caudalis was found on the peat excavation near Czarnków in north part of the Wielkopolska region (Czarnków-Trzcianka district, 52º 55’08” N, 16º 32’26”, UTM: XU06): 2–3 ♂♂ on June 16, 2010. Confirmed breeding (ducklings) of Bucephala clangula on the same day in this place was also interesting.
The author studied small water bodies created for amphibians in the Bieszczady National Park in the years 2009 and 2010. Lestes dryas and Cordulia aenea have been recorded for the first time in the park. Records of some other species are given too, of which Aeshna juncea is of special interest. Two sites of Cordulegaster bidentata were also found in the Bieszczady National Park.
The Pygmy Damselfly Nehalennia speciosa inhabits mainly small natural water bodies with the area less than 1 ha, great amount of mud sedge Carex limosa and slender sedge Carex lasiocarpa as well as submerged vegetation. In Poland, 75 sites of this species have been discovered so far of which 44 are regarded as contemporary. In the Tricity Landscape Park, the Pygmy Damselfly was discovered for the...
On August 12, 2010 during the inspection of ca. 1000-meter long stretch of a ditch situated in meadows (51°43’31” N, 18°38’09” E), extending along the rampart of Jeziorsko reservoir in Proboszczowice (UTM: CC33), at least 20♂♂ and 5♀♀ of Sympetrum meridionale were found. The discovery of this locality is another evidence of the expanding range of this species towards the north.
On July 8, 2010 and 9 VII 2011 in Przybrodzin by Lake Powidzkie (UTM: XU91; 52°25’45” N, 17°55’47” E) a male and a female of Onychogomphus forcipatus were recoded respectively. More than 30 years ago on nearby Lake Niedzięgiel and Białe, situated at the same UTM square UTM (XU91), the presence of the species was found. All of the discussed lakes are located at the distance more than 100–130 km towards...
During observations conducted in August 2011 on Uznam and Wolin islands (northwestern Poland), the autochthonic occurrence of Lestes barbarus and Erythromma viridulum was found. L. barbarus was recorded in a sand-excavation in Świnoujście while E. viridulum in a park pond in Świnoujście and a ditch in the bird sanctuary „Karsiborska Kępa”. These are the first observations of both species in the western...
Aeshna subarctica is rare in the old-glacial lowlands of Poland, i.e. in the Central Polish Lowlands and the Saxonian-Lusatian Lowlands, which occupy the central latitudes of the country and its southwestern areas (Fig. 1). Only thirteen localities of the species have been found in this area (Fig. 1);they have been presented so far only in the form of occupied UTM-squares (Bernard et al. 2009). These...
Two new localities of Nehalennia speciosa were found in 2010 in southeastern Poland, in the south of the Sandomierz Basin (Kotlina Sandomierska), in two nature reserves – „Bagno Przecławskie”(50º11’15”N, 21º25’15”E, UTM EA35) and „Torfy” (50º02’38” N, 21º17’45” E, EA24). They form – together with the localities near Błędów and in the nature reserve „Broduszurki” (Bernard, Daraż 2008; Bernard et al...
The aim of this study was to assess the species assemblage of dragonflies of three chosen oxbow lakes of the Vistula river within the borders of Warsaw. There were: Gocławskie Lake, Powsinkowskie Lake and Wilanowskie Lake. The inventory of Odonata was conducted from May to October 2010. In overall, 24 species of Odonata were recorded. Most of them are considered to be common or very common in Poland...
One hunting female of Anax ephippiger was recorded on June 3, 2011, in a xerothermic meadow near the Lake Perty in Kleszczówek in NE Poland (54°16’40” N, 22°53’50” E). It is the northernmost record of the species in Poland so far. The area of studies is probably situated within the migrating route of the species whose migrations reach Latvia in this part of Europe. The recorded specimen belonged to...
Praca jest doniesieniem o stanowisku ważki – szklarnika leśnego Cordulegaster boltonii stwierdzonego w 2007 roku w okolicach Starachowic na Wyżynie Kieleckiej. Gatunek został wykazany podczas obserwacji terenowych w ramach tworzenia obszarów Sieci Natura 2000 na terenie Polski. Praca przedstawia opis stanowiska w miejscowości Lubienia zarówno w odniesieniu do biologii i ekologii gatunku opisanej przez...
There are 7 species of Lestidae family recorded in the area of Silesian Province. Among them 3 are thought to be rare: Sympecma paedisca, Lestes dryas and testes barbarus. S. paedisca is additionally protected by law in Poland. In the area of Silesian Province it was recorded for the first time in 1959 by Sawkiewicz and Żak in Maciejkowice locality, nowadays it is protected in form of small reserve...
On June 15, 2007 in the valley of the Ri- ver Raba near the village Marszowice (sou- thern Poland) Platycnemis pennipes (2 ) and Ischnura elegans (1 ) were caught to a light trap. Both species occurred nume- rously on the river or in an adjacent gravel- pit and they were probably activated by the strong light.
In the year 1825 and 1840 Toussaint de CHARPENTIER published two very important for European odonatology works describing new species of dragon+ies. For 10 of them Śląsk (Silesia) was established as locus ty- picus, thus typical materials being the basis of species description came from the areas of Poland. CHARPENTIER lived and worked in Brzeg, in the vicinities of Opole.
