Abstract

The article presents the results of odonatafauna of the Khorezm oasis in the north - western part of Uzbekistan for 2020-2021. Observations were made at seven points in different biotopes of the oasiSs. Observations were made in the spring-summer-autumn seasons, when the temperature rose above +20 C. According to the results, 23 species of odonatafauna belonging to 5 families and 8 subfamilies were identified. They are divided into three groups according to their dominance: D = dominant, SD = subdominant R = rare species. Accordingly, dominant species account for 17%, subdominant species for 22%, and rare species for 61%. There are 11 palearctic species (47.8%), 7 cosmopolitan species (30.4%), 2 holoarctic and transpalearctic species each (8.7%), and 1 Australia-Asian species (4.3%).
