This is a list of odonates for Richland County, SC, as reported on OdonataCentral (Abbott, 2008). The list below was accessed on June 1, 2008. However, I have designated county records that I posted on that site as a consequence of my sampling efforts at Congaree National Park in 2002 with a red asterisk (*). I am conducting another survey at Congaree National Park in 2008-2009. Approved new county/state records are designated by a purple asterisk (*), and those that have not yet been approved for OdonataCentral are designated by a red cross (+).
