additional records from naturalists in the Kingston area. The OOD is maintained by the NaturalHeritage Infonnation Cenire, Oritario lvlinistry of Naturai Resources in Peierborough, Ontario. A yearlysummary of Odonata records for the province began tn 1999 and results in a yearly publication entitled"Ontario Odonata" and is published by the Toronto Entomologist's Associationwww. ontarioinsects.org).

The area covered by this checklist is a 50 km radius semi-circle centred at Kingston City Hall (44.2298N and 76.4804 W).

The circle contains the southem portions ofFrontenac and Lennox and Addington Counties, as well as a portion of south-westem Leecis County,the extreme south-eastern tip of Hastings County and a small portion of eastern Prince Edward County.We accept all sightings from Charleston Lake Park and Menzel Provincial Park, though parts of bothare outside the circle.

Because odonate (dragonflies and damselflies,) diversity and distribution in the Kingston area has been

relatively understudied, some species could be more abundant than reported here. Also there could be

species which have not yet been discovered. As odonate watching continues to become more popular,more information will be collected to improve our knowledge of the distribution, status and flightseason. Each species liste<i has a code foiiowing the scientific name. The meanings are as foilows:
