Description
Summary:<p>This paper presents records of Odonata collected in July 2012 in Maludam National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia. A total of 48 species from nine families were collected. Three species were new to science, one of which has already been described as <em>Prodasineura yulan</em> Dow &amp; Ngiam, which may be endemic to Maludam. In addition, Maludam is only the second locality recorded in Sarawak for four poorly known species: <em>Pachycypha aurea</em>, <em>Macrogomphus decemlineatus</em>,<em> Brachygonia ophelia</em> and <em>Brachygonia puella</em>. Two of these species, <em>Macrogomphus decemlineatus </em>and <em>Brachygonia ophelia</em>, are recorded for the first time in Sarawak in more than 100 years.</p><div> </div>
