Résumé :	The current status and distribution of the rare and threatened dragonfly Onychogomphus macrodon (Selys, 1887) was studied in Turkey 2006-2009. Despite an intensive search for the species, it was found only at one locality in the middle course of the Ceyhan river. Other localities in Turkey, from where the species has been reported in the literature which could not be confirmed. The habitat preference of the species is described and observations on the behaviour of both sexes were made. Some morphological details are described and notes on the colour are given. Literature records are summarised and reasons for the decline of this species are discussed.
