Abstract
A total of 105 odonate species (43 damselflies and 62 dragonflies) were documented from Pu Huong Nature Reserve, located within the western Nghe An UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, for the first time. Among them, Burmagomphus asahinai Kosterin, Makbun & Dawwrueng, 2012 and Ceriagrion chaoi Schmidt, 1964 represent new national records for Vietnam. In addition, the occurrences of Ceriagrion azureum (Selys, 1891), Devadatta ducatrix Lieftinck, 1969, Protosticta satoi Asahina, 1997, Heliogomphus bidentatus Kompier & Karube, 2019, Nihonogomphus schorri Do & Karube, 2011 and Macromia urania Ris, 1916 extend the known distribution ranges of these species southward.
