In the past, E. cyathigerum was only recorded from one locality in the Turkish Thrace region (Hacet and Aktaç, 2004). The species was also found at one locality in both Edirne Province and Kırklareli Province aside from the original locality (Loc. 4) in the region; these sites are located in the northern part of the region in areas with standing waters. Population numbers for this species were observed to be rather low in the locations where it was recorded.	en	Hacet, Nurten, Online, Published, Version, Final (2017): Updated checklist of Odonata fauna in the Turkish Thrace Region, with additional records of new, rare, and threatened taxa.

9F72A3451F61FF9FFF3EFC684505FA0C.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: Loc. 14: 1 ♀. The presence of Lestes dryas in the region was based on only two records, the first from İstanbul Province by Morton (1915) and the second from Tekirdağ Province by Yazıcıoğlu (1982). A third regional record is that of a female specimen, collected in 1993 from İstanbul Province- Ovayenice, which was kept in the Odonata collection of Trakya University. Although abdominal segments 1 – 3 of the specimen are lacking, it could be easily identified. The lateral lobes of the prothorax in the female specimen have metallic green areas and the ovipositor reaches beyond the tip of abdominal segment 10, unlike that of L. sponsa (Hansemann, 1823).

9F72A3451F61FF9FFC9BFD1047A8FB9E.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: Loc. 2: 31.05.2006, 1 ♂. This species was represented by one record from the region for a long time (Hacet and Aktaç, 1997). It was also found in Kırklareli Province (Devletliağaç-Malkoçlar) during fieldwork in 2008 (Guan et al., 2013). A third location for this species in the region is reported from Edirne Province in the present study. In the locations in which P. n. nymphula was found in the region, population density levels have been observed to be low so far.

9F72A3451F61FF9CFC9BFA5847DEFE58.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: Loc. 1: 04.07.2013, (2 ♂ - observation), barrage lake; (a few males- observation), cultivated areas near a barrage lake. 08.07.2013, 1 ♂, barrage lake; 1 ♂, (a few males- observation), cultivated areas near the lake. 10.07.2014, 1 ♂, 1 ♀, (about 10 males and 1 or 2 females- observation), cultivated areas near the lake; (about 10 males and 3 females- observation), barrage lake. Loc. 4: 12.07.2014, (a heterospecific tandem between a male of this species and a female of O. albistylum (Selys) - observation), barrage lake; 13.07.2014, 1 ♂, barrage lake. L. tetraphylla is a migrant species and its distribution extends from Central Asia throughout the Arabian Peninsula and the Anatolian part of Turkey to the island of Sardinia (Italy) (Boudot et al., 2009). The southern part of the Anatolian peninsula also has localities where L. tetraphylla has been recorded (Kalkman and Van Pelt, 2006 b). 3.1.1. Comments and observations on heterofamilial heterosexual tandem between a male L. tetraphylla and a female O. albistylum A mixed pairing between a male of L. tetraphylla and a female of O. albistylum (Selys, 1848) at the barrage lake of Tatarköy village, Kırklareli Province, is reported in the present study. A male of L. tetraphylla was observed flying over the lake. After this male specimen was pursued for 10 – 15 min (it flew over the water and perched along the border of the lake from time to time in this period), eventually it perched on a small dried plant along the border of the lake. In the meantime, a few S. fonscolombii (Selys, 1840) and O. albistylum were flying nearby along the border of the lake. When a male L. tetraphylla began to fly between individuals of O. albistylum, surprisingly, it suddenly caught a female O. albistylum. The tandem position continued for a short time (probably 3 or 4 s); the female suddenly inverted its abdomen downwards and a wheel position consisting of the two species of the families Gomphidae and Libellulidae appeared. The pair in the wheel position flew away towards the center of the pond; when I attempted to approach them slowly, they suddenly disappeared from sight. Corbet (1999) indicated that 10 % of the heterospecific pairings in the reported records were heterofamilial of the same suborder. A report does exist of a tandem linkage between a male Libellulidae and a female Gomphidae in records of currently known heterofamilial connections (Utzeri and Belfiore, 1990). The present study reports an adversely anomalous pairing between a male Gomphidae and a female Libellulidae. Furthermore, the anomalous connection reported in this communication is probably the first record for L. tetraphylla. 3.1.2. On the possibility of occurrence of L. tetraphylla in the region Permanent populations of the species are known from lake and river regions with vegetation areas in its range in Europe. Exuviae of the species were reported from barrage lakes without vegetation or with a marshy shore in Gökçeada (Kalkman and Van Pelt, 2006 a). Resident populations of L. tetraphylla found in Sardinia and Crete recently showed that the species colonize on islands far from the main land, and also these populations were reported from manmade reservoirs (Handersen and Leo, 2011; Boudot, 2014). The new data of the species in Europe in the last years showed that it was probably either overlooked or colonized in its range. In the present study mating positions or egg laying behaviors of female in the Uzgaç locality were not observed. However, flights of males and females on water were seen occasionally. On the other hand, a male L tetraphylla observed at the Tatarköy barrage lake attempted to mate with a female of O. albistylum. Even if the populations of the species given from both localities in the present report are thought to be individuals of a population migrating through the region, this mating attempt with another species shows that the species will be able to most probably colonize in these water reservoirs.

Currently, C. insignis is known to occur in Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and Turkish Thrace in Europe (Kalkman, 2006; Boudot et al., 2009). The IUCN threat status for this species in Europe is endangered (Kalkman et al., 2010). The present study reported this species from a new location near the border of Bulgaria and Turkey. Two male specimens have features of the nominate subspecies with blue eyes, a black band on the frons, and yellow spots on the anterior part of abdominal segment 9, which were also observed on the other male specimens recorded from the region (Hacet and Aktaç, 2004).	en	Hacet, Nurten, Online, Published, Version, Final (2017): Updated checklist of Odonata fauna in the Turkish Thrace Region, with additional records of new, rare, and threatened taxa.

This species, recorded previously in Loc. 7 by Dumont (1977) and in Loc. 9 by Hacet and Aktaç (1997), was reported within the present study from the same localities. C. picta was also found in two additional new localities, Yeşilce (Loc. 8) and Kızılağaç (Loc. 13) villages in Kırklareli Province in the northern part of the region. The species prefers small brook habitats in this region. Although the species has a wide distribution in the northwestern and western parts of Anatolia (Asian part of Turkey), the IUCN Red List Category for Europe is vulnerable (Kalkman et al., 2010).

9F72A3451F62FF9DFC9BFA584506F946.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined: Loc. 4: 13.07.2014, 1 ♀, (1 ♀ - observation). Loc. 5: 1 ♂ (photo). Currently, Selysiothemis nigra is known only from the southwestern part of Turkish Thrace near the border with Greece (Kalkman et al., 2004). The present study recorded this species together with L. tetraphylla in the center of the region in a place rather far from the border. A male specimen was photographed in Kıyıköy located along the shore of the Black Sea in June 2015 (Figure 2). These records probably represent individuals of a population migrating to the region, most probably from Greece, similar to migrating populations of L. tetraphylla. A specimen being inconspicuous with typical dark blue eyes, sand-colored body, and small white pterostigma on the wings was observed perched on a plant between short plants near the border of a barrage. Although this specimen was caught, another female observed at the same location suddenly disappeared from sight. No other individual of the species could be found in the local environment on the same or the next day. When a female specimen was placed in an envelope for examination, a green egg mass was observed sticking to the tip of its abdomen. As Gashtarov and Beshkov (2010) interpreted a similar observation of L. tetraphylla, if the female specimen of S. nigra in Tatarköy had not been caught, it is most likely that she could have laid her eggs in the local reservoir or in ephemeral reservoirs in the local environment. Studies in the last few years showed both the presence of S. nigra and L. tetraphylla from new localities and also expansion of their distributions towards the north in Europe (Gashtarov and Beshkov, 2010; Kulijer et al., 2012; De Knijf et al., 2013; Boudot, 2014; Stille et al., 2014; Uboni et al., 2015). New data related to these species found in Europe in the last few years exhibit a positive correlation with increasing number of studies and artificial reservoirs (Uboni et al., 2015). Findings of L. tetraphylla and S. nigra given in the present paper are also from barrage lakes. Records of these species can be thought to be individuals of a migrating population. When taking into account that a mating attempt was observed with an interspecific species by L. tetraphylla and an egg mass was observed in the abdomen of S. nigra in the study region, it is most likely that these species will be permanently indigenous in artificial ponds and reservoirs in this region in the future. The increasing number of studies conducted in the region will be able to provide clear answers to the present questions related to the distribution and ecology of this species in the future.	en	Hacet, Nurten, Online, Published, Version, Final (2017): Updated checklist of Odonata fauna in the Turkish Thrace Region, with additional records of new, rare, and threatened taxa.
