Abstract Dragonflies (Order: Odonata) are important components of freshwater ecosystems and serve as useful indicators of environmental and ecological conditions. The present study was conducted to investigate the systematic diversity and distribution of dragonflies in District Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan. Field surveys were carried out in different habitats, including ponds, canals, seasonal streams, marshy areas, wetlands, agricultural fields, and other freshwater-associated sites across the district. Dragonflies were collected through direct observation, photography, and standard sampling techniques during suitable periods of the year. Specimens were identified using external morphological characters and available taxonomic keys, with particular attention to diagnostic features of the head, thorax, abdomen, wings, and wing venation. The study recorded 13 species of dragonflies, representing different genera and families of Odonata. Species composition and abundance varied among sampling sites, reflecting differences in habitat characteristics and availability of freshwater resources. The findings provide baseline information on the systematic diversity and distribution of dragonflies in District Khairpur and contribute to the knowledge of Odonata fauna of Sindh, Pakistan. The study also highlights the ecological importance of freshwater habitats for maintaining dragonfly diversity. Further investigations using molecular techniques, long-term monitoring, and detailed ecological studies are recommended to strengthen the taxonomic status and conservation assessment of dragonflies in the region.
