Abstract

Odonata were recorded and voucher specimens were collected between August 3- 13 and August 16-20, 2011. This account lists 51 species of Odonata for both islands, 47 species in Siargao and 24 species in Bucas Grande. Thirty seven species are new island records for Siargao Island while the 24 species recorded in Bucas Grande represent the first island records. Three species are new to science, and two of which (Drepanosticta schorri n. sp., Pseudagrion schieli n. sp.) are described in the present paper. Four species previously listed (Hämäläinen & Müller, 1997) remained elusive during the present survey.
