Resumen:
Dragonfies of the Yungas (Odonata). A Field Guide to the Species from Argentina/
LIBELULAS DE LAS YUNGAS (ODONATA) Una guia de campo para las especies de
Argentina, by N. von Ellenrieder and R.W. Garrison, So.a, Pensoft Publishers, 2007,
Series Faunistica 67, 116 pp., e25 (paperback), ISSN 1312-0174, available at

The global hotspot known as Yungas cloud forest extends from south Venezuela to NW
Argentina. This forest shows a strong altitudinal gradient as it develops along the eastern
slope of the Andean Cordillera, from 300 to 3000 m.a.s.l. The enormous variety of
microclimates supports a great biodiversity, and it is not surprising that one-third of
Argentinean odonate species are found in this relatively small area.
This bilingual (Spanish/English) .eld guide, the .rst of its kind for any South
American country, covers all 102 species in 45 genera (nine families represented) of
Odonata in this invaluable and vulnerable biodiversity hotspot. The pocket-sized
(14 6 18 cm) guide provides a means for the identi.cation of adults of all species found
in the Argentine Yungas. Suborders and families can be determined by .rst using
diagnostic tables, and then going to the provisionally identi.ed family. Concise discussions
for genera and species include identi.cation, distribution, habitat, and behaviour. Most
species accounts are accompanied by a beautiful colour photograph taken in the .eld, and
diagnostic characters (a total of 282 illustrations) are presented for all species. Included are
topics on global and regional diversity, anatomy, behaviour, ecology, conservation,
collecting and preserving techniques, and a glossary of technical terms.
The excellent quality of the illustrations makes it useful not only for nature lovers but
for ecologists and other scientists interested in biodiversity. Taxonomists will also .nd a
thorough treatment of a rich fauna whose original descriptions are widely scattered and
hard to .nd. The clear illustrated diagnoses o.ered for each taxon should also allow the
identi.cation of some non-Argentine taxa (Yungas from Venezuela to Bolivia).
Overall, I highly recommend this reasonably-priced volume for all who are interested
in Neotropical natural history.

diagnostic characters (a total of 282 illustrations) are presented for all species. Included are
topics on global and regional diversity, anatomy, behaviour, ecology, conservation,
collecting and preserving techniques, and a glossary of technical terms.
The excellent quality of the illustrations makes it useful not only for nature lovers but
for ecologists and other scientists interested in biodiversity. Taxonomists will also .nd a
thorough treatment of a rich fauna whose original descriptions are widely scattered and
hard to .nd. The clear illustrated diagnoses o.ered for each taxon should also allow the
identi.cation of some non-Argentine taxa (Yungas from Venezuela to Bolivia).
Overall, I highly recommend this reasonably-priced volume for all who are interested

Argentina. This forest shows a strong altitudinal gradient as it develops along the eastern
slope of the Andean Cordillera, from 300 to 3000 m.a.s.l. The enormous variety of
microclimates supports a great biodiversity, and it is not surprising that one-third of
Argentinean odonate species are found in this relatively small area.
This bilingual (Spanish/English) .eld guide, the .rst of its kind for any South
American country, covers all 102 species in 45 genera (nine families represented) of
Odonata in this invaluable and vulnerable biodiversity hotspot. The pocket-sized
(14 6 18 cm) guide provides a means for the identi.cation of adults of all species found
in the Argentine Yungas. Suborders and families can be determined by .rst using
diagnostic tables, and then going to the provisionally identi.ed family. Concise discussions
