Abstract

Leucorrhinia albifrons (Burmeister, 1839), the dragonfly species from the family Libellulidae of the European and Baikal range, is recorded for the first time in Yakutia. E.N. Zykov collected the only male of this species on 7 July on the shore of Lake Schuchie in the northern outskirts of Lensk (60°44’11.24” N, 114°57’38.68” E). Dark Whiteface Leucorrhinia albifrons is a rare species with a mosaic distribution and ecological optimum in Europe. It occurs in forests of the European part of Russia and the Urals; in Siberia the range gradually narrows to the Baikal Lake. This paper provides a morphological description and illustrations of the general view, head, anal appendages, and secondary genitalia.
