Dragonflies from the Barcelona campus of the Universidad de los Llanos, Villavicencio, Colombia

Abstract

We present a checklist of the odonatofauna of the Barcelona campus of the Universidad de los Llanos, all the specimens are deposited in the entomological collection of the Museo de Historia Natural Unillanos– MHNU-E. In total, 424 specimens were recorded, grouped in 7 families, 31 genera and 61 species, of which 11 species are new records for the department of Meta. This study provides evidence of the high levels of diversity in the Barcelona campus, despite the different anthropic activities that are carried out, indicating the need to implement this information in the environmental conservation policies of the Universidad de los Llanos.
