Abstract

A total 1,545 Odonata specimens stored in the collection of the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb have been examined. The specimens were collected in the period between 1869 and 2011, mainly in Croatia, but also in the surrounding countries (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia) and Switzerland. An overview of 61 species is presented. The most numerous species were Ischnura elegans (Vander Linden, 1820) and Platycnemis pennipes (Pallas, 1771).
