During a short trip to south-western Saudi Arabia focusing on the Asir Mountains in November 2022, 27 species of Odonata were found. The occurrence of species known from Saudi Arabia, albeit from data older than 50 years (Diplacodes lefebvrii and Crocothemis sanguinolenta), was confirmed. New localities of some previously only scarcely reported species were discovered, viz. Pseudagrion sublacteum, Anax speratus, Paragomphus sinaiticus, Brachythemis impartita, Nesciothemis farinosa, Trithemis dejouxi and presumed Pseudagrion arabicum, on which DNA analysis was performed.
