First records of dragonflies (Odonata) from the Foja Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia

Abstract: A small collection of dragonflies obtained during two RAP biodiversity surveys to the Foja Mountains, organised by Conservation International with help of LlPI, Bogor, in 2005 and 2008 are brought on record. Twelve species were found at two sites below 100 m near Kwerba, a small village adjacent to the Mamberamo River. Thirteen species were
recorded at ‘Moss Camp’ at 1650 m in the Foja Mountains. Of these Hemicordulia ericetorum was previously only known from the central mountain range while Oreaeschna dictatrix was only known from Lake Paniai and the Cyclops Mountains. It is likely that more genera and species now known only from the central mountain range occur in the Foja Mountains and probably also the Van Rees Mountains. However one species, Argiolestes spec. nov. is probably endemic to the Foja Mountains. Although this collection includes only a small fraction of the diversity likely to be present in the mountains it is nonetheless of interest as it represents the first records of dragonflies from the area.

Di antaranya Hemicordulia ericetorum yang hanya diketahui dari pegunungan tengah dan Oreaeschna dictatrix yang hanya diketahui dari daerah danau Paniai dan Pegunungan Cyclops.

Walaupun jumlah kecil ini hanya sebagian kecil dari keragaman capung yang barangkali hadir di pegunungan, namun hasilnya penting karena merupakan hasil capung pertama dari wilayah tersebut.
