  1. Group Name: Animalia-Arthropoda • Team Names: • Cunningham,B • Falcone,B • Cummings,K • Pierre,W • Walker,R • Lumberg,A • Pineda,D • Chapman,K • Vita,D • Caballero,C • Pausch,R • Mehta,S • Vasquez,J • Taneja,R Animalia: Arthropoda • No. of Species in Category – 27 • Habitat: Wetlands (inland) - Seasonal/Intermittent/Irregular Rivers/Streams/Creeks • Chosen Species: Pyrrhosomaelisabethae • “Greek Red Damsel” • Assessment: Critically Endangered • It is clear that this is one of the most threatened damselfly species in Europe. The species meets the threshold requirements for Critically Endangered under criterion B. It is also projected that the population is likely to decline by 30-50% over the next 10 years (VU A4c). • Information on habitat requirements is poor. The following notes on the habitat are available:- Corfu: a ditch and along a slow flowing river in the coastal plains- Peloponnese: brooklets with clear, cool water and rich vegetation and a well-vegetated brook http://www.uw-organisatie.nl/waarneming.nl/VuurjuffersKalkmanLopau2006.pdf

  2. Conservation:AnimaliaArthropoda • This is one of the most threatened European dragonflies and conservation actions are needed immediately. First action to be undertaken is to visit all known localities to establish if the species survives, to gather detailed information on its habitat and to map local threats. Based on this information locations can be selected where the species might occur for further fieldwork. For the known populations a species action plan needs to be created. This needs to be done on population level and in close co-operation with local authorities and landowners. It is mandatory that several of the locations should be included in nature reserves.
