Sažetak
The fauna of Zagreb has been well investigated during the last two
centuries, which is evident from a series of publications. Even so, only limited data on dragonfly fauna of Zagreb have been published, and there is no current checklist. During the three years period (2009-2011) we conducted a survey of the dragonfly and damselfly fauna (Insecta, Odonata) in Vugrovec village, located on the eastern slopes of Mt Medvednica. The aim of this study is to present the first data on dragonflies from the Vugrovec area and to compile the
first checklist of dragonflies of Zagreb. The suborder Zygoptera is represented in Vugrovec by 4 families and 5 species, while the suborder Anisoptera is represented by 4 families and 9 species in the area. After a review of all the available literature, in conjunction with the newly collected data, a checklist of dragonflies of Zagreb was created, including 44 species, 14 of which are listed in the Red Book of Dragonflies of Croatia. This indicates a high richness in comparison to the 70 known species from Croatia.
