Abstract

A new locality for the endangered Calopteryx exul is reported from the Aurès mountains, Khenchela province, an eastern prolongation of the Sahara Atlas range. A total of 138 individuals of C. exul were recorded along a 20 km stretch of the Wadi Elhamma river from April to June 2021, suggesting that this species might penetrate deeper into semi-arid parts of the Atlas mountain system than currently known.
