Descripción

This three-volume work, "The Fauna of British India Including Ceylon and Burma: Odonata," delves into the rich world of Indian dragonflies. The exploration began in 1758 with Linnaeus, and a significant leap occurred in 1850-1890 under Baron Edmond de Selys-Longchamps. Dr. F. Ris, Mr. E. B. Williamson, and Dr. F. Laidlaw continued to shape the field. Initiated in 1918, the series evolved into a comprehensive study, spanning India, Darjeeling, Sind, Ceylon, and Burma, enriched by collaborative contributions. The first volume, published in 1933, concluded Zygoptera and introduced the Anisoptera suborder. The subsequent volume in 1934 completed Anisoptera, hinting at undiscovered diversity with 537 described species. Acknowledgments extend to contributors, museum specialists, and the Bombay Natural History Society, reflecting on Mr. H. V O’Donel's contributions and noting taxonomic suggestions. The glossary remains unchanged throughout the trilogy.
