Abstract
During three field trips in 2009-2010 to Xuan Son National Park in Phu Tho province in northern Vietnam, a total of 13 species of damselflies of the superfamily Calopterygoidea were recorded. These records are documented here with field photographs of living damselflies. Observations on their biology and behaviour are also noted. Three of the species are reported from Vietnam for the first time: Rhinocypha arguta, an undescribed Matrona species and Vestalaria miao. The last species was first found in Huu Lien Nature Reserve in Lang Son province in June 2008.
