The presence of dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) is taken as an indication of good ecosystem quality. Information on the diversity of Odonata across countries such as East Africa, South Africa, Zambia, America, United Kingdom, and India has been well documented. This study is part of ongoing research on diversity of Nigerian Odonates. It was funded by GBIF (BID-AF2017-0311) and University of Lagos, Nigeria (CRC 2016/21). It involved the Digitization and Mobilization of Odonata of Southern Nigeria, and molecular characterization, DNA barcoding and banking of Odonata of South western Nigeria. So far over 7000 collections have been made comprising of over 200 species from Nigeria. Odonate collections from journal publications in Nigeria so far are from University of Ife, Federal University of Technology Akure University of Port Harcourt and University of Lagos. This will be updated regularly.Taxonomic Coverages
