Abstract

 The Odonata Order includes insects popularly known as dragonflies, which play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, however there are many regions of Brazil with little or no information about these animals, even in states considered well sampled as Minas Gerais. In this aspect, the present work aimed to inventory the seasonal forest fauna in municipalities of the southern region of the state. Conducted from December 2016 to March 2018, totaling 40 collection days and 240 sample hours. We collected 400 specimens distributed in 71 species, 33 genera and 10 families, Libellulidae and Coenagrionidae being the most frequent families. The most frequent and abundant species was Acanthagrion gracile. The study area presents high species richness and is the second work to register the pseudostigmatidae family in the state.
