Gumuk Pasir Parangkusumo is one of the unique eolian ecosystem in Yogyakarta. This place which mostly formed by dune which in the rainy season is flooded by water, thus forming a pool called wet dune slack. Damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) are closely related to the occurrence of water. The aim of this research is to compare the diversity of damselflies in canopied and non-canopied areas on Gumuk Pasir Parangkusumo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The method which used in this research was the descriptive method with active exploration techniques around the wet dune slack to the vegetation formation. The result showed that there are 4 species of damselflies in canopied area and 5 species of damselflies in non-canopied area. The diversity index (H’) is 1.18 in canopied area and 1.01 in non-canopied area. The highest relative abundance of the species in canopied area is Ischnura senegalensis (45,65%) whereas in non-canopied area is Agriocnemis pygmaea (62,34%). The non-canopied areas has conditions more suitable for damselflies’s life.
