Comments. One of the best known insect groups in the Socotra Archipelago. Data were recently summarized e.g. by RISERVATO et al. (2010) or SCHNEIDER & NASHER (2013). Up till now, five species of Zygoptera (family Coenagriidae ) and 16 species of Anisoptera (families Aeshnidae – 2 species, Gomphidae – 1 species, Libellulidae – 13 species) have been recorded. Azuragrion granti ( McLachlan, 1903) is the only species endemic to Socotra.
