New records for the Chimalapas-Uxpanapa Region, Mexico (Odonata: Calopterygidae, Heteragrionidae, Polythoridae, Thaumatoneuridae, Coenagrionidae, Gomphidae, Libellulidae)

During a collecting trip to five tropical rainforest sites in the Chimalapas-Uxpana¬pa region in an altitudinal gradient of 155–499 m a.s.l., a total of sixteen species of odonates new to the region were recorded. Poorly studied species such as Erpetogomphus ophibolus Calvert, 1905, Hetaerina infecta Calvert, 1901, Heteragrion alienum Williamson, 1919, and Heteragrion tricellulare Calvert, 1901, were recorded. Ischnura demorsa Hagen, 1861, and Paraphlebia sp. are discussed in greater detail. These records add to the knowledge of odo¬nate distribution from Oaxaca and Veracruz.
