Abstract
Records of adult and larval Odonata from the Kapit Town area in Kapit Division, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, made in 2023 and 2024, are presented. One hundred and seven species were recorded, nine of which were first records for the division and a further 21 were first records for Kapit District. The total number of Odonata known from Kapit Division was raised to 167. The most significant of the adult records is that of a female Linaeschna (probably L. polli), a genus only known from the male until now. From the larval records, single larvae of Borneogomphus and another Onychogomphine species stand out, the former is particularly notable since it was made at a lowland site. The diversity of the Gomphidae in Borneo is briefly discussed and compared with a recent study made in Thailand as well as more generally with mainland Southeast Asia.
