Sympetrum depressiusculum (Sélys, 1841) new species in the Odonata fauna of Serbia

The Hungarian investigator Janos Frivaldszky published results of faunal studies on territories that included some parts of the present Republic of Serbia (Frivaldszky, 1877). This paper reported, among others things, the finding of the species Sympetrum depressiusculum (Sélys, 1841) at the Uljma local-ity in South Banat. It represents the first data indicating the presence of this species in Serbia. For unknown reasons, this paper was not cited by the majority of workers that performed odonatological investigations in this region. Until the present time, there were no confirmations of the presence of this species either in Banat or in Serbia. The risk of oblivion of the finding published by Frivaldszky was suspended by recent findings of this species.
