Abstract


The Choquequirao Regional Conservation Area (RCA) is a Protected Natural Area (PNA), located in the department of Cusco, Peru. The aim of this study is to present a preliminary inventory of Odonata in this PNA. We recorded 10 species belonging to four families and comments on their distribution are added. Anax amazili, Tramea darwini, and Pantala hymenaea are new records for the department of Cusco; in addition, the altitudinal range for A. amazili and T. darwini in the country is extended to 2580 m a.s.l. Finally, Tramea rustica is recorded for the first time in Peru. This study contributes to improving the knowledge of the Peruvian odonatofauna in this ACR; however, more research is required in this area and other unexplored departments.
