The odonatefauna ofKazakhstan (86spp.)isreviewed,usingliterature data,
miscellaneous collections and the results of anexpedition by the authors in
July 2004. Aeshna caerulea,A. subarctica, Somatochlora graeseri(all from the
S Altai mountains),Macromiaamphigenafraenata(Sibinskie Lakes near Ust’-
Kamenogorsk),Calopteryxsamarcandica, Coenagrionhylas and Anormogomphus

INTRODUCTION
ThefirstmentionofOdonatafromKazakhstan wasby SELYS& MacLACH-
LAN(1872), inapaperonthe“Kirgizsteppe”. Atthebeginning ofthe20thcen-
tury, GRIGORYEV (1906) provided dataon 10 species from the Kazakh part
ofthe south-westernAltai,while BARENEV (1911) cited 15 species fromAk-
molinsk,Taldy-Kurgan andWesternKazakhstan. Fragmentary informationon
Odonatawas occasionally provided by parasitologists and hydrobiologists e.g.
DOGEL&BYKHOVSKY(1934),TYUTENKOVA( 1956),andKLIMSH1NA
& KUKASHEV (1982, 1989), butfor substantialwork wehadto wait for BE-
LYSHEV(1961), whorecorded42species fromeastern Kazakhstan. Inthe 1971
review by BELYSHEV & SHEVCHENKO, the faunallist reached 73 species.
Eight ofthese were not collectedin Kazakhstanbutnearitsborders.A decade
later, BRAGINA & HARITONOVA (1989) cited 78 species. Ischnura senega-
lensisRambur, 1842,was amisidentification,now deletedfromthefaunaof the
formerUSSR (HARITONOV, 1988).

In 1979, HARITONOVdescribedIschnuraaralensis, fromfloodplain lakesof
thelowerSyr-Darja River.Atthecloseofthe20lh century, REINHARDT (1995,
1999), andREINHARDT & SE1DENBUSCH(1999), basedon fieldstudiesby
K. Reinhardt, documentedthezonebetweenLake Balkhashandthe TienShan
mountains.REINHARDT &SEIDENBUSCH (1989) list 44species inhabiting
thearea,5ofwhich are doubtful.
Thefollowing materialformedthe backboneofthe presentpaper:
(1) The Ph.D. studyofI.A.CHAPUNA(2004),from2000 to2004,mainlydealingwith East-Ka-
zakhstan and Alma-Ata district. Most ofher material is in the collections ofthe Institute of
Systematicsand EcologyofAnimals,Siberian Branch,RussianAcademyofSciences(ISEASB
RAS),Novosibirsk. Somematerial hasbeenpublished(BERDIBAEVA&CHAPLINA, 1997;
CHAPLINA, 1998,2001,2002,2003).
(2) Thecollections madebyA.Yu.Haritonov inthe 1970’s- 1990’sontheterritoriesofAktyubinsk,
Kustanai, North-Kazakhstan,Kokchetav,Pavlodar,Tcelinograd,East-Kazakhstan,Alma-Ata
andKyzyl-Orda districts.Mostmaterial isinthecollectionsofISEASBRAS,Novosibirsk,with
somespecimensintheZoologicalMuseum ofChelyabinskandatKyzyl-OrdaStatePedagogical

THECOUNTRYOFKAZAKHSTAN
TheRepublicofKazakhstanwasthesecondlargestoftheformerUSSR. Withanareaof271,700
km2it extendsforalmost 3000km fromWesttoEast, fromthe CaspianSeaand thelowerVolgato
the Altai,and 1600 km fromNorth toSouth,fromthe WestSiberian Lowlands and spurs of the
UralstotheTien Shan ridges and Kyzyl Kum desert. Kazakhstan lies in thecentral and southern
latitudes ofthetemperatezone;thesouth isalmost subtropical.Apeculiarfeature isitslocation in
thecentreofEuro-Asian continent,with effectsonitsphysicalgeography,hydrography,vegetation,
andfauna.Kazakhstancoversfourzones:forest-steppe,steppe,semi-desertanddesert,besidemoun-
tain systemswith all featuresinherent tohighaltitudes.
Total sunshine in Kazakhstan ishigh:the number ofsunny daysper year increasesfrom 120 in
the Northto 260in theSouth,and that ofcloudydays decreasesfrom 60inthe Northto 10in the
Balkhash depression.
Theplainsreceivelittleprecipitation, inareasofforest-steppe,annualprecipitationis300-400mm,
but in thesteppesitdecreasesto250 mm andin semi-desertanddesertareasto 200-100mm. Areas
withless than 100mmoccurintheBalkhashbasin,south-western PriaralKyzyl Kum,and thesouth
ofthe UstUrt.Inthefoothills andmountains,average precipitationreaches 400-1600mm;overthe
westernslopes oftheAltai,it sometimes overshoots 1600mm.

freshwaterand slightlysaltwater lakes occurmainlyin themountainous regionsofKokchetavsky,
Bayanoulsky,Karkaralinskyandin thelowerreaches ofrivers. Insemi-deserts anddeserts,lakesare
restricted tothe lowerreaches anddeltas ofrivers. Mostlakes areat 100-350m asl, often onloose
quaternaryortertiarysediments. Lakes in theplains ofKazakhstan have simpleoutlines,flat bot-
toms, and theirdepthis usuallyonly 1-3metres. Lakelevel fluctuates drastically onanannual and
