Abstract :
During a survey of Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan, two dragonfly genera were collected and identified for
the first time from the country. Anaciaeshna(Family Aeshnidae) is a genus of large dragonflies. Representatives
were collectedfrom Gujjo, District Thatta (Sindh) in August 2008 and were identified as Anaciaeshna jaspidea
(Burmeister). The second genus was Epophthalmia (Family Corduliidae), medium to large sized, well-built and
very fast flying dragonflies. Epophthalmia vittata vittata Burmeister (Family Corduliidae) was collected from
Java Dam, Rawalpindi and Dhok Tallian Dam near Chakwal. Individuals of this genus were found maneuvering
near the peripheries of small dams. Some taxonomic notes of the said species are provided.
