Abstract

The Current study was conducted to record the fauna of dragonflies in district Skardu, Gilgit Baltistan. As a whole, 183 adult specimens were collected belonging to 14 species under 10 genera and three families. Among families, Libellulidae was dominant with 11 species, Aeshnidae 02 species and Cordulegasteridae with single species. Detailed information for each species i.e., habitat, valid names, dispersal and collection dates for all collected specimens are provided. The current study revealed Skardu as a diverse hub for dragonflies. Similar surveys and research is needed to be conducted for Zygoptera fauna.
