(10) Cordulegaster picta Selys, 1854

Material examined: Loc.7: 17.07.2001, 4 ♂. Loc.8: 26.06.2008, 1 ♀. Loc.9: 25.06.2008, 2 ♂. Loc.13: 1 ♀.

This species, recorded previously in Loc.7 by Dumont (1977) and in Loc.9 by Hacet and Aktaç (1997), was reported within the present study from the same localities. C. picta was also found in two additional new localities, Yeşilce (Loc.8) and Kızılağaç (Loc.13) villages in Kırklareli Province in the northern part of the region. The species prefers small brook habitats in this region. Although the species has a wide distribution in the northwestern and western parts of Anatolia (Asian part of Turkey), the IUCN Red List Category for Europe is vulnerable ( Kalkman et al., 2010).
