Abstract
A list of 60 Odonata species and their distribution across 109 localities on the Crimean Peninsula is provided. The study is based on a literature review and a field survey between 1999 and 2008. Erythromma lindenii and Epitheca bimaculata are here recorded for the first time from Crimea. Diagnostic morphological characters of Calopteryx splendens taurica and Orthetrum coerulecens anceps are briefly described. Discriptions of typical Crimean habitats of dragonflies are also presented. The necessity of the protection of Crimean freshwater habitats is discussed.
