A substantial increase of dragonfly fauna in the Sea of Azov region (Priazovye) by species with “southern” ranges was observed during the XXI century. These species are Lindenia tetraphylla (Vander Linden, 1825), Crocothemis erythraea (Brullé, 1832), Sympetrum fonscolombei (Selys, 1840), Hemianax ephippiger (Burmeister, 1839). The species Selysiothemis nigra (Vander Linden, 1825) is recorded from Donetsk Region and Krasnodar Region for the first time. This record significantly expands the range of the species in Europe. The relationship between change in the regional entomofauna and increasing of average temperatures is not supported. Legitimacy of using of insect localities which directly or indirectly related to human activities in the zoogeographical zonation is discussed.
