Abstract

Corrections, amendments and some updates to an annotated checklist of the Odonata of Sarawak (Dow 2021) published in a special edition of the Sarawak Museum Journal are listed. With one exception taxonomical updates given here are confined to those based on publications that appeared between the last revision of the manuscript (early April 2019) and its publication (February 2021). The exception is that a Merogomphus (?) species lumped under M. femoralis Laidlaw, 1931 in Dow (2021) is considered to be a separate species here. Unfortunately there are a number of problems with records at district level and the reader of Dow (2021) is advised to simply ignore the district level records and counts until a revised version of the checklist using an accurate characterisation of Sarawak’s districts is produced. Additionally the number of species known from Sarawak is updated to reflect information published in Dow et al. (2021) and in this paper and now stands at 308.
