Abstract

An updated checklist of known Odonata occurring in the Lesser Antilles is presented along with distributional information island by island. Twelve species are removed from previous listings and 16 new records are added, bringing the total number of species to 46. Of the new records, three correspond to the descriptions of new species and one is currently under taxonomic revision (Brechmorhoga praecox grenadensis Kirby).
