Vogt and 1. E. McPherson' ABSTRACT .\ suryey of the adult odonate fauna o  the La Rue-Pine Hills Ecological Area, Union C:mnty. Illinois, was conducted during 1983-1985. Thirty six. species were collected in..;;uJing the damselfly Telebasis byersi Westfall; this damselfly is known to occur in mioois only at Pine Hills. The La Rue-Pinc Hills Ecological Area (hereafter referred to as Pine Hills) is part of the Sh.l.'ii.IJee :-\ational Forest and located in the northwest corner of Union County, lIlinois, '::3.. I S. miles northeast of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It encompasses only ca. 3 miles2, but is "'ell kDovon for its high plant and animal diversity (McPherson and Mohlenbrock 1976). Pine HHis includcs dry forests and hill prairies atop limestone bluffs, and moist forests at Ie !:\L,<s of the bluffs that surround La Rue Swamp and Winters Pond. The topography .GJ \ eget tion of the area were discussed in detail by McPherson and ohlenbrock, i9-6,. During the past several years, one of us (JEM) has been involved with a series of studies of the Pine Hills insect fauna including surveys of the Pentatomoidea (McPherson and ~lohlenbrock 1976) and butterflies (Sites and McPherson 1981). This paper presents a SUf\ey of the Odonata.The literature on the Odonata of Illinois is limited and scattered. The most recent .::omp>ehensiye faunal lists are found in Needham and Westfall's 1955 manual on the &-agontlies of :-\orth America and Montgomery's 1967 paper on the Odonata of the north .:entral stales. Since their publication, only 10 species have been added to the state list induding Dromogomphus spoliatus (Hagen) (Westfall and Tennessen 1979), Tetrago­neuna coswiis Selys 'Dunkle 1983), Anax longipes Hagen, Neurocordulia xanthosoma ,WiHiaIlL"<-"lIl!

Be.::au..<e so little is known about Illinois Odonata, we also here include the distribution of the Pin.': Hills species in southern Illinois and the range of collection dates for both areas: all data are based on adults. Southern lllinois s defined here as that part of the state south of a line from St. Louis, Missouri, to Vincennes, Indiana (Fig. 1).MATERIALS AND METHODS Collecting trips were made at about one week intervals from March through October in 1983 and through November in 1984, and from March through May in 1985.

ABSTRACT 
.\ 
suryey 
of the adult odonate fauna o  the La Rue-Pine Hills Ecological Area, Union 
C:mnty. Illinois, was conducted during 1983-1985. Thirty six. species were collected 
in..;;uJing the damselfly Telebasis byersi Westfall; this damselfly is known to occur in 
mioois only at Pine Hills. 
The La Rue-Pinc Hills Ecological Area (hereafter referred to as Pine Hills) is part of the 
Sh.l.'ii.IJee 
:-\ational Forest and located in the northwest corner 
of Union County, lIlinois, 
'::3.. I S. miles northeast of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It encompasses only ca. 3 miles2, but 
is 
"'ell 
kDovon for its high plant and animal diversity (McPherson and Mohlenbrock 1976). 
Pine HHis includcs dry forests and hill prairies atop limestone bluffs, and moist forests at 
Ie !:\L,<s of the 
bluffs that surround La Rue Swamp and Winters Pond. The topography .GJ \ eget tion of the area were discussed in detail by McPherson and ohlenbrock
, i9-6,. 
During the past several years, one of us (JEM) has been involved with a series of studies 
of the Pine Hills insect fauna including surveys of the Pentatomoidea (McPherson and 
~lohlenbrock 
1976) and butterflies (Sites and McPherson 1981). This paper presents a 
SUf\ey 
of the Odonata.The 
literature on the Odonata 
of Illinois is limited and scattered. The most recent 
.::omp>ehensiye faunal lists are found in Needham and Westfall's 1955 manual on the 
&-agontlies of :-\orth America and Montgomery's 1967 paper on the Odonata of the north 
.:entral stales. Since their publication, only 10 species have been added to the state list 
induding Dromogomphus spoliatus (Hagen) (Westfall and Tennessen 1979), Tetrago­

south of a line from St. Louis, Missouri, to Vincennes, Indiana (Fig. 1).
MATERIALS AND METHODS 
Collecting trips were made at about one week intervals from March through October in 
1983 and through November in 1984, and from March through May in 1985. Selective

Thirty six species were collected at Pine Hills, and most of these are widely distributed 
in southern Illinois. However, L stes inaequalis Walsh and T. byersi were represented 
only by Pine Hills specimens. T. byersi prior to its discovery at Pine Hills was known only 
from North Carolina, Florida, Alabama (Westfall 1957), and South Carolina (Huggins and

Based on the species now known to occur in Illinois, ca. V3 were represented in the Pine 
Hills fauna. This appears to be rather high diversity judging from the uniformity of the
