TOBIAS-LOAIZA, Melizza  e  TAMARIS-TURIZO, Cesar E.. Odonata of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia: A preliminary list. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2019, vol.43, n.167, pp.212-218. ISSN 0370-3908.  https://doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.832.

We raised a list of Odonata species and genera from eight rivers of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (SNSM) after the revision of scientific articles, theses, and specimens deposited in the Centro de Colecciones de la Universidad del Magdalena (CEBUMAG). We found 38 species distributed in 35 genera and eight families. The Libellulidae family presented the greatest richness (14 genera) and the widest range of altitudinal distribution (between 50 and 2,800 m a.s.l.) found in all vegetable coverages. The Gaira River exhibited the greatest wealth among the revised rivers with 26 genera of which eight are exclusive to the basin while in the Ranchería River only Progomphus was registered. Argia and Brechmorhoga had a wide spatial distribution as they were recorded in six rivers. The review revealed the lack of studies on the eastern and southwestern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, so it is recommended to carry out taxonomic and biodiversity work to contribute to the knowledge of Odonata in the Colombian Caribbean. © 2019.
