We summarize the bionomics, distributional information, and habitus photos of all Taiwanese Sympetrum, including S. bacha bacha, S. cordulegaster, S. darwinianum, S. depressiusculum, S. eroticum ardens, S. fonscolombii, S. infuscatum, S. kunckeli, S. nantouensis and S. speciosum. Sympetrum infuscatum is reported from Taiwan for the first time, based on a photo taken on 07 October 2009 in Keelung City. A new record of S. darwinianum found on 09 October 2010 in New Taipei City is reported, representing the second record of the species in Taiwan. Distributional maps of all species and phenological graphs, based on 25 years of citizen science data of 6 selected species (S. cordulegaster, S. depressiusculum, S. eroticum ardens, S. fonscolombii, S. nantouensis and S. speciosum) are also provided.

The pupae of Amphiops were often observed attached horizontally to twigs or floating objects. In the present paper, the author reports a case of pupa adheraena in A. mater Sharp, 1873, which was hanging under a plastic cover under artificial conditions. Furthermore, the potential morphological adaptations for the floating behavior in Amphiops pupae are discussed.
