Abstract
Seventeen species of Odonata were collected in 1994-1996 from 21 localities in the Kuril Islands. Mnais pruinosa, Aeshna nigroflava, Cordulia aenea, and Pseudothemis zonata are first records from the archipelago, and the last species represents a significant range extension from Honshu. Enallagma belyshevi is synonymized with E. circulatum, which is considered a valid species rather than a subspecies of E. boreale.
