The Odonates fauna of Ken Gharial wildlife sanctuary of Panna and Chatarapur districts of Madhya Pradeshwas documented for three yearsfrom January 2022 to December 2024. The Ken river source of water on the wildlifesanctuary provided an excellent habitat for Odonates.Overall, 46 species (29 dragonflies and 17 damselflies) belonging to 28 genera and 7 families were reported. The diversity of Odonata was recorded to be the maximum in the monsoon season. A comparison of Odonates diversity reported from different locations of the Ken Gharial wildlife sanctuary signifies the importance of conserving freshwater ecosystems.The highest numbers of 24 species Odonates were recorded belonging to the Libellulidae (52.17%), followed by 10 species of Coenagrionidae (21.73%), 4 species of Aeshnidae (8.69%), 4 species of Lestidae (8.69%), 2 species of Platycnemididae (4.34%), one species of Gomphidae (2.17%)and one species of Chlorocyphidae (2.17%). Of the total 46 species, 13 species were very common, 17 species common, 11 species rare and 5 species very rare in occurrence. The observations support the high value of this Ken Gharial wildlife sanctuary for conservation of Odonata and research on their taxonomy and biology.
