Odonata Checklist for Sg Durian, Lintang, Perak - III

I visited Sg Durian, Lintang, Perak for the third time a few days ago to survey the odonate diversity. I managed to add six more species to the previous checklist. The added six species are Vestalis amethystina, Cratilla lineata, Cratilla metallica, Tetrathemis irregularis, Tetrathemis platyptera and Burmagomphus williamsoni. Now the total number of odonate species recorded from Sg Durian is 36.
