In the last decades only a little knowledge has been gained regarding the Odonata fauna of Afghanistan, principally due to ongoing conflict within the country. Nevertheless, Ukrainian scientists have visited there in recent years, mainly to study Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. During one expedition in the Paghman-Dara mountains at an altitude of 2 500 m a.s.l. ca 20 km west of Kabul a female of Cordulegaster coronata (Morton, 1916) was collected. No further specimens of this species were seen.
