Description
Summary:Taman Negara National Park is divided into three parts according to states – Taman Negara Pahang, Taman Negara Kelantan and Taman Negara Terengganu. In this study we present the records of Odonata collected at Kuala Kelapoh, Taman Negara Pahang and Gua Bewah, Taman Negara Terengganu. A total of 61 species were recorded from Kuala Kelapoh and 52 species from Gua Bewah. Of these 46 species are the new records for Taman Negara National Park. The high number of new records in this study indicates the Odonata fauna of Taman Negara National Park was not well studied. Notable records from the study include Coeliccia sameerae, Phyllothemis raymondi and Rhinocypha pelops. The records from Kuala Kelapoh and Gua Bewah are combined with the existing records in literature to produce a checklist of the Odonata for Taman Negara National Park with 101 species from 15 families.
