(2) Lestes dryas Kirby, 1890

Material examined: Loc.14: 1♀.

The presence of Lestes dryas in the region was based on only two records, the first from İstanbul Province by Morton (1915) and the second from Tekirdağ Province by Yazıcıoğlu (1982). A third regional record is that of a female specimen, collected in 1993 from İstanbul Province- Ovayenice, which was kept in the Odonata collection of Trakya University. Although abdominal segments 1–3 of the specimen are lacking, it could be easily identified. The lateral lobes of the prothorax in the female specimen have metallic green areas and the ovipositor reaches beyond the tip of abdominal segment 10, unlike that of L. sponsa (Hansemann, 1823) .
