Brachytron pratense (Muller, 1764) is a small Aeshnidae species widespread in the Western Palearctic and most common in Central and Northern Europe. Records from the southern and eastern outskirts of its range are scarce. In summer 2020, the dragonflies were observed and photographed by the first author in the vicinity of Cheboksary, 55°01′30″ N, 47°54′19″ E, at a pond with dense coastal vegetation. This is the first record of this species in Chuvashia and one of the few in the Middle Volga Region. Including the newly found Brachytron pratense, fauna of Chuvashia comprises 54 Odonata species. Adults were seen in flight from 8 June till 4 July; oviposition was recorded on 8 June.
