Project Data

This result is from funding by GBIF (BID-AF2017-0311) and University of Lagos, Nigeria(CRC 2016/21) that involved the Digitization and Mobilization of Odonata of Southern Nigeria and molecular characterization, DNA barcoding and banking of Odonata of South western Nigeria respectively. So far, over 4000 collections made up of over 190 species, from Lagos, Osun, Oyo and Ondo States have been digitized. Odonate collections from Akwa Ibom State comprised 836 individuals from 23 species, and four families. The families were Libellulidae (75%), Coenagrionidae (24%), Calopterygidae (0.1%) and Chlorocyphidae (0.4%). Three dominant species found from the collections include Palpopleura lucia (39%), Orthetrum chrysostigma (9%) and Pseudagrion kersteni (9%). Two species with only one individual were Phaon iridipennis and Thoymis tillarga.
