ADDENDUM TO THE"CHECKLIST OF KANSAS DRAGONFLIES" (REF. 5)
The 81st Anisoptera species recorded for Kansas was Erythemis vesiculosa (Fabricius) 1775 - Great Pondhawk (Family Libelludlidae), collected by Dr. Ralph Charlton of Kansas State University in Geary Co., near the Kansas River. This brings the total number of Odonata species recorded for Kansas to 121 (40 Zygoptera and 81 Anisoptera).
