Checklist, Slovenian common names
Below is a checklist of all the European dragonfly and damselfly species, with their Slovenian common names, if available. It's largely based on Dijkstra, Schröter and Lewington's excellent Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Britain and Europe, 2nd edition (2020). For a list of the species which we have excluded from our European checklist, please click here.
We now have photographs available of all of the 134 species listed below.
If you would like to see the checklist with the common names in a different language, click on the corresponding flag below. And you can also see the checklist with only the scientific names.
