We present a dichotomous key to identify adults of all presently described Odonata
of New Caledonia including the Loyalty Islands (Melanesia) and Wallis and Futuna
(Western Polynesia). The key covers a total of 58 species of which approximately 50 % are
regionally endemic, while others are more widespread species inhabiting neighboring archipelagos
such as Vanuatu and Fiji, and even more distant regions.
