The data on this page is current as of July, 1999. Researchers
should be aware that at any given time, the database used to produce this
list is at least several hundred records behind the main database of the
Ohio Odonata Survey. Published records for which voucher specimens could not be located for verification are included. Those needing more up-to-date information for
research purposes, or those planning to publish any reference to these distributions, should contact Bob
Glotzhober to assure accuracy, avoid any computer-program generated errors, and coordinate potential simultaneously published accounts.
