Leucorrhinia pectoralis

Conservation status and Spanish distribution of protected invertebrate species included in the Habitats Directive (European Union Directive 92/43/CEE) is evaluated. Bibliographic records are analysed in each bioregion, species biology, reproductive habitats and relationship with habitats included in Habitats Directive, percentages of populations within Nature 2000 network and their threats are evaluated with more details when are known. A monitoring program is proposed. In this chapter, comments on the only known population of Leucorrhinia pectoralis in Spain (a extinct population?) are given.
