Abstract

The catalogue and distribution of the Odonata order in the Murcia Region has been upda- ted, comparing this to an earlier one made in the 1950s. The results indicate that 40 species were located in 17 localities in the mid-20th century, while the 2087 citations collected between 1991-2017 confirm the presence of 47 species in 191 localities. 11 new species have been identified for the Region of Murcia, which may have been favoured by the construction of ponds, reservoirs and other infrastructures to supply 225,000 hectares of irrigated land. Of these, the distribution areas of 9 species are expanding towards northern Europe and / or Asia, an effect that may relate to the current climate change process. On the contrary, in the current review 4 species cited in the study conducted in the mid-twentieth century have not been detected.
