Onychogomphus costae in Andalusia, southern Spain - Mapping an overlooked species (Odonata: Gomphidae)
Abstract and Figures
Onychogomphus costae is an Ibero-Maghrebian endemic, which is rare in the Ibe-rian Peninsula. This study updates its distribution in Andalusia, southern Spain, based on a targeted survey carried out in 2015-2017 and the compilation of all available records. The species appears to be more widespread than previously documented, with a core distribution along the river Guadalquivir and its tributaries in the province of Córdoba. The altitudinal distribution of Onychogomphus costae reflects its general preferences for permanent, seasonally flooding, lowland rivers. The period of most observations of adults stretches over two months from mid-May to mid-July. Factors likely to explain why the species has been overlooked in past decades are discussed. These include recording effort, habitat features, adult behaviour, larval ecology and general water quality.

... El género Onychogomphus Selys, 1854 contaba en la península ibérica con tres especies de anisópteros de carácter reófilo: Onychogomphus uncatus (Charpentier, 1840), Onychogomphus forcipatus (Linnaeus, 1758) y Onychogomphus costae Selys, 1885, esta última muy escasa a nivel penin-sular e incluida en la Lista Roja de los Invertebrados de España en la categoría "Vulnerable" (Prunier 2018, Verdú et al. 2011. Con el reciente descubrimiento de O. cazuma, se eleva a cuatro el número de especies del género para el territorio peninsular (Boudot & Kalkman 2015, López-Estrada et al. 2020. ...
En el presente documento se aportan los primeros datos sobre la biología de Onychogomphus cazuma Barona, Cardo et Díaz, 2020 en la región de Castilla-La Mancha (centro-este de España), confirmando su reproducción en dicho territorio mediante el hallazgo de exuvias y una hembra recién emergida. Hasta la fecha la especie solo se había detectado en la provincia de Valencia, en localidades situadas a más de 100 km.
The first data on the biology of Onychogomphus cazuma Barona, Cardo et Díaz, 2020 in Castilla-La Mancha region are provided. Its reproduction in this territory is confirmed by the detection of exuvians and a teneral female. The species had been only detected in the province of Valencia, in locations more than 100 km away.
... Three species of Onychogomphus have been reported so far from the Iberian Peninsula but none are endemic to this area. Their life-cycle, behaviour, larval and adult morphology, geographic distribution and ecological dynamics are relatively well known (Ferreras-Romero et al. 1999;Rehfeldt 2003;Cano Villegas 2009;Prunier 2018;Boudot & Kalkman 2015;Velasco-Villanueva et al. 2018). ...
Onychogomphus cazuma Barona, Cardo & Díaz sp. nov. is described from the mountainous inland area of Valencia in central-eastern Spain. The new species presents a combination of morphological characters that distinguishes it from all other species of the genus and can be readily identified by the morphology of the male appendages and the female vulvar scale, and by the shape of the median lobe of the prementum and the labial palps of the exuvia. Molecular analysis of two genetic markers, one nuclear and one mitochondrial (PRMT and COII), supports the full species rank for this new taxon, which is sister to the northwestern African endemic O. boudoti. Despite its small known distribution and the vulnerability of its habitat, available data are still insufficient to place this new species into an IUCN Red List of Threatened Species category.
Se aportan las primeras citas de Hemianax ephippiger y Onychogomphus costae para el País Vasco, incluyendo observaciones de actividad reproductora para la primera especie.
Bibliographical data on Andalusian dragonflies are abstracted and ordered by province and 10x10 kilometers squares. Doubtful records as well as species to be confirmed in the region are discussed. The Andalusian catalogue of dragonflies is updated.
In 2007, 2008 and 2009, a thorough sampling of aquatic macroinvertebrates was carried out in the water catchment of the Guadalimar River, an important affluent of the Guadalquivir River. Forty-two dragonfly species were recorded in an area previously poorly studied. The conservation of the dragonfly community is assessed using nymphs and evaluated with an odonatological index (ICOEX).
Se confirma la presencia actual de la libélula Onychogomphus costae en la provincia Madrid (España), de donde no se había citado desde principios del siglo XX. Confirmation of the current presence of Onychogomphus costae Sélys, 1885 (Odonata: Gomphidae) in Madrid (central Iberian Peninsula) The current presence of the dragonfly Onychogomphus costae in Madrid province (Spain) is reported. Only one previous record from this region existed, published in the early 20th century.
Data of 40 Odonata species present in the Huesca river network are given. Platycnemis latipes, Boyeria irene, Crocothemis erythraea, Sympetrum fonscolombii, Ischnura graellsii, Onychogomphus forcipatus unguiculatus and Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis are the most common dragonflies in this fluvial network. Records of Coenagrion mercuriale (included in the Spanish National Threatened Species Checklist), the threatened species Coenagrion caerulescens, Coenagrion scitulum, Aeshna juncea and Gomphus simillimus, and the endemic Sympetrum vulgatum ibericum are particularly interesting.

Fruit de 10 anys de treball de camp, és un recull exhaustiu de la informació existent sobre les libèl·lules. Conté una introducció a la biologia del grup i 70 fitxes, una per a cadascuna de les espècies catalogades, que inclouen un mapa de distribució, una descripció detallada de la seva morfologia per facilitar-ne la identificació i valuosa informació addicional sobre els seus hàbitats característics, ecologia, comportament i estatus de protecció.
Per primera vegada s'introdueixen noms comuns en català i s'avalua el grau d'amenaça a partir dels criteris de la IUCN i d'un nou índex de Vulnerabilitat dels Odonats de Catalunya (IVOC). Així mateix, s'identifiquen els principals llocs d'interès odonatològic atenent la seva riquesa específica o la presencia de tàxons amenaçats.
L'obra a més de presentar un important recurs per a la recerca, pot servir de base per a treballs de conservació d'aquest grup d'invertebrats i dels ecosistemes aquàtics on viuen. Al mateix temps, pretén ser un recurs didàctic adreçat a tots aquells que vulguin iniciar-se o aprofundir en el coneixement d'aquests insectes.
