(from Boudot & al. 2009:57): Coenagrion syriacum, which was first described as a subspecies of C. puella, is now widely accepted as a full species. It is endemic to southern Turkey and the Levant, where it is common and abundant. However there are no recent records for the western part of its range in Turkey and the species might have disappeared there.
Die Syrische Azurjungfer, Coenagrion syriacum (Morton 1924), ist ein Endemit Kleinasiens und des Nahen Ostens. Offensichtlich ist sie häufig, wo sie vorkommt (Reisebericht: Hatay to Kappadokia). Dennoch, die Art wird seltener, da die Zerstörung der Biotope weiter fortschreitet. Salur & Kiyak (2006) berichten über das Vorkommen der Art in der Türkei.
