Odonata Checklist for Sg Durian, Lintang, Perak - IV

I visited Sg Durian, Lintang, Perak for the forth time yesterday to survey the odonate diversity. I managed to add five more species to the previous checklist. The added five species are Orthetrum glaucum, Orthetrum sabina, Brachydiplax farinosa, Potamarcha congener and Neurothemis fulvia. Now the total number of odonate species recorded from Sg Durian is 41.
