【 摘 要 】

Gorewada International Bio-Park consists of a lake as a major water source, marshy shore and heterogeneity in vegetation. Its geographical location is 21o11'N 79o2'E. Observations are made through walking line transects along the lake border to determine the diversity of damselfly. Total 21 species of damselflies belonging to nine genera (Aciagrion, Agriocnemis, Ceriagrion, Enallagma, Ischnura, Pseudagrion, Rhodischnura, Copera and Lestes) and three families (Coenagrionidae, Lestidae and Platycnemididae) have been recorded. Out of total damselflies examined, 52.38% are common, 19.05% are occasional and 28.57% are rare species. The present study encourages the conservation of a wide range of indigenous damselfly species in this area.
