Abstract

The paper reports the results of the odonatological examination of ponds in the Natural Ornithological Park in the Imeretinskaya Lowland in Adler (43°24′1″N; 39°58′22″E) carried out on 22 July 2020. In total, we found 12 Odonata species, including Orthetrum sabina (Drury, 1770) that was recorded on the Russian territory for the first time. The found specimens correspond exactly to the subspecies Orthetrum sabina nigrescens (Bartenev 1929; Bartenev 1930) described by Bartenev from Lake Inkit. The current status of the subspecies is discussed. Including this discovery, the dragonfly fauna of the Russian Federation comprises 157 species.
