“…comm., 2024). The descriptions of Erythrodiplax cauca, and the poor descriptions coupled with poor illustrations for Gynacantha remartinia and Lestes sternalis apply to closely related species, so taxonomic studies should be conducted to determine the validity of these species (Bota-Sierra et al, 2014a;Garrison & von Ellenrieder, 2024;Mendoza-Penagos et al, 2024;Williamson & Williamson, 1930). On the other hand, further sampling even within anthropized areas may lead to confirmation of previously unknown localities for species that despite being poorly known have wide distributions, e.g.…”

Colombian odonatological history was scarce until two decades ago. Here, we present an updated, thoroughly vetted, and refined checklist of taxonomic and geographical records of Colombian odonates, built upon the previous publication in 2011. To achieve this, we conducted an extensive literature review, and curated the most representative biological collections of odonates in the country. Our goal was to integrate new records and recently described species, while excluding misidentifications or doubtful identifications due to a lack of support from taxonomic revisions and specimens in collections. We report a total of 536 species, reflecting a 38% increase in odonate richness since the last published checklist in 2011. This number positions Colombia among the top ten countries with the highest number of odonates worldwide. We include important taxonomic details for each species in the checklist, the availability of female and/or larva description(s), and the IUCN species assessment. We also highlight rare or puzzling species, which records for the country are controversial. It is noteworthy that the majority of these contributions stem from local Colombian research efforts that have enriched our national reference collections, including ANDES-E, CEUA, and UARC. Geographically, the department with the highest diversity is Meta with 205 species followed by Antioquia with 170 species. The latter holds the highest number of endemics across the country. We anticipate that this effort will be the basis and inspiration to future research on Colombian odonatofauna, especially in underexplored areas, and will encourage conservation initiatives for freshwater ecosystems across the country.

The female of Leptagrion jeromei Lencioni, Vilela & Furieri, 2021 is described, illustrated, and diagnosed based on a specimen collected in epiphytic bromeliads at the Federal University of Sergipe (♀ (B0545), BRAZIL, Federal University of Sergipe, São Cristóvão, -10.92707, -37.10100, 30 m asl, 6.x.2023, A.B.S. Farias & J.C. Santos leg.). Additionally, we provide information on its biology, ecology, and taxonomic notes, along with illustrations of the collected males.

The unknown female, Leptagrion itabaiana Vilela, Lencioni & Santos, 2021 was described, illustrated, and diagnosed based on two specimens collected in the Serra of Itabaiana National Park (♀, Brazil, Sergipe, Areia Branca, Serra of Itabaiana National Park, -10.7484, -37.3390, 221 m, 24.v.2023, A. B. S. Farias leg., UFS). Leptagrion itabaiana female can be separated from their congeners by the following characteristic combinations: shape of the prothoracic hind lobe, body size, and ovipositor valves size.
