Errata and Addenda: Updated Illustrated Checklist of Dragonflies of the UAE - including a third species of Ischnura damselfly

Our paper titled “An Updated Illustrated Checklist of Dragonflies of the UAE” (Feulner et al. 2007), published in Tribulus Vol. 17, stimulated valuable comment and inquiry as well as further investigations by the authors themselves. These confirmed errors in the identifications attributed to several photographs, which are corrected below. In addition, continuing research and field studies by Reimer have revealed the presence of a third species of Ischnura damselfly, as well as the possible presence of a further dragonfly species observed in the coastal environment in neighbouring Oman. These developments are reported below, along with certain additional information likely to be of interest to those studying the Odonata of the UAE and northern Oman, including tips for field discrimination between Ischnura damselfly species.
