Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

45 dragonfly species are presented for Syrdarya Karatau Range and Arys River valley in Southern Kazakhstan, with 19 species newly registered, and Somatochlora arctica Zetterstedt, 1840 given on the basis of literature data.Doubtful registrations of Calopteryx samarcandica Bartenef, 1911 and Somatochlora arctica are discussed.Seasonal latitudinal migrations of the four species, Anax ephippiger Burmeister, 1839, A. parthenope (Sélys, 1839), Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) and Sympetrum fonscolombii Selys, 1840, are determined from Chokpak Pass by means of ornithological traps.Seasonal altitudinal migrations are registered for seven species, Aeshna mixta Latreille, 1805, Sympetrum arenicolor Jödicke, 1994, S. meridionale (Selys, 1841), S. striolatum pallidum Selys, 1887, Sympecma fusca (Vander Linden, 1820), S. gobica (Förster, 1900) and S. paedisca (Brauer, 1877).In mountainous biocenoses the immigrant dragonfly species flight from plains for aestivation are represented in high numbers.Резюме.Для Сырдарьинского Каратау и долины реки Арысь (Южный Казахстан) указывается 45 видов стрекоз, из них 19 -впервые для этой территории.Somatochlora arctica Zetterstedt, 1840 приводится на основании литературных данных.Проанализированы указанные ранее ошибочные сведения о находках Calopteryx samarcandica Bartenef
