Abstract

A summary of the present knowledge on the diversity of Odonata occurring in the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin (CCB) is presented. The work is based on published records, and the results from samplings are carried out between the years 2009 and 2013 in 23 sites. A list of the 67 Odonata species from the CCB is provided including 19 new state records. Finally, the biogeographic affinities, conservation status, and major threats are discussed.
