<Sympetrum orientale> (Selys, 1883) (Odonata: Libellulidae): a new addition to the Odonata fauna of Kashmir Himalaya, India
Odonata, which includes dragonflies and damselflies, are a significant insect group in wetland ecosystems, with 6,410 species globally, including 498 in India and 257 in the Indian Himalaya. These insects serve as indicators of ecosystem health and their population declines are often considered an indication of pollution or environmental degradation. The present study focuses on Sympetrum orientale (Selys, 1883), a new addition to the Odonata fauna of Kashmir Himalaya, India. It has been recorded from the Boniyar and Uri Regions of Baramulla District.
