45 dragonfly species are presented for Syrdarya Karatau Range and Arys River valley in Southern Kazakhstan, with 19 species newly registered, and Somatochlora arctica Zetterstedt, 1840 given on the basis of literature data. Doubtful registrations of Calopteryx samarcandica Bartenef, 1911 and Somatochlora arctica are discussed. Seasonal latitudinal migrations of the four species, Anax ephippiger Burmeister, 1839, A. parthenope (Sélys, 1839), Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) and Sympetrum fonscolombii Selys, 1840, are determined from Chokpak Pass by means of ornithological traps. Seasonal altitudinal migrations are registered for seven species, Aeshna mixta Latreille, 1805, Sympetrum arenicolor Jödicke, 1994, S. meridionale (Selys, 1841), S. striolatum pallidum Selys, 1887, Sympecma fusca (Vander Linden, 1820), S. gobica (Förster, 1900) and S. paedisca (Brauer, 1877). In mountainous biocenoses the immigrant dragonfly species flight from plains for aestivation are represented in high numbers.
