Abstract

Onychogomphus cazuma is an endemic gomphid of eastern Spain and one of the rarest dragonflies in Europe. We report the discovery of a population of this species at Surgencia del Tajo del Buitre, Ardales, in Málaga province, Spain. Numerous exuviae and three emerging individuals were found in early June 2023. The site consists of a seepage with permanent slow-flowing water a few centimetres deep located below a cliff. We provide a detailed description of this Andalusian habitat and update the species' distribution map. We believe that O. cazuma might be more widespread in the Baetic Mountain range.
