Statistics for Dragonflies of Cambodia
Location
Cambodia is devided in 20 provinces and 4 cities. So far I found
data from 85 locations in the references. These locations lie in
less than half of the provinces as one can see on the map. For
three places I was not able to find the coordinates. Most
important of those is Chékô, mentioned by Asahina (1967). This
location lies on the western coast of the bay of Kampong Saom. Who
knows the exact coordinates? The maps at the species-pages show
the locations, where the species has been found. So far the database
is much to small to make conclusions for the distribution of the
species in the whole country.
Species
91-94 species are recorded for Cambodia. Comparing with Thailand
with over 300 and Vietnam with over 230 species there is still a
lot of room to find new species for the country. Even undiscribed
species are possible, as you can read on the species pages. 11 species
were only recorded in Martin (1904). Three of them, Coeliccia octogesima,
Rhyothemis fuliginosa and Tramea virginia/chinensis are
very doubtful. Not counted as record for Cambodia are Rhyothemis
plutonia Kosterin (2010a) and Rhyothemis regia Donelly (2000), as the authors themselves were
not sure enough.
