Odonata (insecta) from Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, Central Brazil: information on species distribution and new records. CheckList, Campinas, v. 10, n. 2, p. 299-307, Mar./Apr. 2014.e- 1809-127Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/12087Odonates are found in all freshwater environments, and are specially species rich in tropical freshwater ecosystems. Currently about 800 odonate species are known to Brazil, but only 29% of the Brazil territory have been surveyed for this group. Here we provide a species list with information on distribution and new records for Odonata in nine streams in Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, Central Brazil. We used the scan procedure with a fixed area for three days in each stream between 10:00 and 14:00h. We collected 1038 dragonfly specimens belonging to 67 species, which represents 8% of the known Brazil odonate fauna. Additionally, five new records for the study area are presented.engAcesso AbertoOdonatesSpecies distributionArtigo
