dct:abstract

Tropical America is currently experiencing the establishment of a new apex insect predator, the Paleotropical dragonflyHemianax ephippiger(Odonata: Aeshnidae).H. ephippigeris migratory and is suggested to have colonised the eastern Neotropics by chance Trans-Atlantic displacement. We report the discovery ofH. ephippigerat three new locations in the Caribbean, the islands of Bonaire, Isla de Coche (Venezuela), and Martinique, and we review its reported distribution across the Neotropics. We discuss the establishment ofH. ephippigeras a new apex insect predator in the Americas, both in terms of ecological implications and the possible provision of ecosystem services. We also provide an additional new species record for Bonaire,Pantala hymenaea(Odonata: Libellulidae).
