CHECKLIST The following checklist includes all species of Odonata which have been reliably recorded in Britain, Ireland or the Channel Islands. The sequence and scientific nomenclature follow Askew (1988), except for Cordulegaster boltonil, Oxygastra curtisii and Sympetrum fonscolombii, which are amended following Brooks (1988). The currently accepted scientific name appears in bold italic, with synonyms in plain italic. The vernacular names given in bold for resident and regular vagrant species are those recommended in the journal of the British Dragonfly Society (Anon 1991); for Channel Islands species and very rare vagrants, names follow McGeeney (1986). The synonymy is not intended to be comprehensive, but it includes most of the Vagrants to Britain or Ireland which have never been known to breed are marked * Species which occur regularly in Britain as immigrants, but do not usually breed, are marked !. Species recorded only from the Channel Islands, and not from Britain or Ireland, are marked +. Species which formerly bred in Britain, but are now believed to be extinct here, are marked x. Order ODONATA Suborder ZYGOPTERA Family CALOPTERYGIDAE AGRIIDAE Calopteryx virgo (Linnaeus 1758) Agrion virgo Calopteryx splendens (Harris 1782) Agrion splendens Family LESTIDAE Lestes viridis * (Vander Linden 1825) Chalcolestes vifidis Lestes barbarus + (Fabricius 1798) Lestes sponsa (Hansemann 1823) Lestes dryas Kirby 1890 Sympecma fusca + (Vander Linden 1820) 2 scientific and English names which are likely to be encountered in 20th century literature on British and Irish Odonata, and in all but the oldest museum collections. A more extensive list of early synonyms is given by Robert (1958) and Askew (1988). Scientific and vernacular names used by the following authors are given: Aguilar, Dornmanget and Prechac (1986); Corbet (1962); Corbet, Longfield and Moore (1960); Fraser (1949); Gibbons (1986); Hammond (1977, 1983); Kbet and Hincks (1945, 1964); Longfield (1937, 1949a); Lucas (1900, 1930); McGeeney (1986); and Miller (1987). (Longfield (1937) uses hyphens in 'dragon-fly' and 'damsel-fly' ; these variants are not listed as synonyms.)
