[Community] Peru

[Ângelo P. Pinto]

Dear RT Cox,
 
There are some lists or faunal papers published, especially about Madre de Dios by Dennis Paulson and others. Probably you will found good references in Paulson’s paper (2004) on Neotropical region. There is no any guide exclusively produced for this country (they are very rare in Neotropics), but you will found some help for identification in the Heckman's books; however they should be used with very caution. Good luck in your travel.
 
Best Regards,

I am traveling in Peru in April and May, principally looking for birds.  I need to know if anyone has a list, identification guide or useful tips regarding Odonata in that region.
