Abstract

An updated faunal list containing 94 species of Odonata (60 Anisoptera and 34 Zygoptera) for Utah is pre - sented. Of the 95 Odonata species recorded in past publications as being from Utah, 8 have been removed from the Utah Odonata list, while 7 new state records have been added. Explanations for their removal are provided in the species accounts. The 7 ecoregions found in Utah are briefly described along with their wetland habitats and odonate species. Geographical distribution data by county, drainage, and ecoregion are provided for each species along with information regarding elevation range, flight season, and habitat preferences in Utah. Specific comments relevant to the distribution and abundance of each species are provided. Distribution maps illustrate collection locations against a background of county boundaries and topography. State conservation rankings using methods described by NatureServe are recommended.
