Libellula quadrimaculata (Linnaeus, 1758) Conservation and breeding status: LC (EU), LC (IT), LC (MED), B L. quadrimaculata is a holarctic lentic dragonfly which was observed in PDS (15) where up to 20 individuals were seen to congregate ( 11 Jul 2016 ) and breeding was confirmed. This species was considered locally common and well distributed in the Alpine valleys of Piedmont ( Boano et al. 2007 ), a pattern confirmed by the Italian preliminary Atlas ( Riservato et al. 2014c ). Territorial males were observed over 2000 m and breeding up to 1890 m in VCO, Maritime Alps (province of Cuneo, Piedmont ) and Mont Avic ( Val d’Aosta ) Natural Parks ( Clemente et al. 2011 ; Pompilio 2012 ; Bionda et al. 2013 ; Pettavino 2015 ; Sindaco et al. 2008); thus, further surveys would be needed to ascertain its occurrence at higher altitudes in VGNP.
