[Odonata-l] FW: Request for information -Australian Odonata

[Ian Endersby]

Katherine,

The Murray Darling Freshwater Research Organisation 
http://www.mdfrc.org.au/ has published taxonomic keys to many groups 
of Australian aquatic invertebrates.  If you go to their website and 
select Publications you will find a pdf list and price list.  All of 
the Odonata except the Libellulidae have been covered (as far as 
larval ID is possible).  Gunther Theischinger has just published the 
Libellulidae through the NSW Department of Environment but it has not 
yet been released.  This will occur when Gunther returns from an overseas trip.
