Englisches Abstract

A small collection of Odonata from Nuku Hiva Island, Marquesas Islands is presented. It adds Anax guttatus as a new species to this oceanic group. Hemicordulia sp. nov. is reported, but not described because the same species has been sampled before and is pending a formal description. A short taxonomic discussion on observed morphological similarity of male anal appendages in taxa presently assigned to Amorphostigma, Hivaagrion and Ischnura east of New Caledonia is provided. Important considerations for biogeography of the Pacific Odonata are discussed too.
