Abstract

There are many under-sampled sites, even Conservation Units (CUs), in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, an important area of concern for conservation owing to its history of degradation and unique and rich biota. This study aimed to survey the fauna of Odonata in the Iguaçu National Park and the Bela Vista de Itaipu Biological Refuge, western state of Paraná, southern Brazil. The study was conducted from September 2021 to May 2022, comprising a total of 318 sampling hours. A total of 851 adult individuals of 97 species were collected in the two CUs, with 45 new records for the state of Paraná.
