Caconeura gomphoides

Caconeura gomphoides[2][1] is a damselfly species in the family Platycnemididae.

It is endemic to high altitude peat bogs and grassy uplands in Nilgiris.

Wings are transparent with reddish-brown pterostigma, framed in thick black nervures.

It can be distinguished from all other species of this genus by the reddish-brown color of the pterostigma and by the mid-dorsal mark on segment 2.

Commonly found in grassy upland, clinging to ferns on the banks of small streams covered with grass.
