}}Hylaeothemis indica[2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae, endemic to India.[1][3]Fraser described Hylaeothemis indica from specimens from the Western Ghats of India.[4] Previously this species has been treated as H. fruhstorferi; a species probably actually confined to Sri Lanka.[1][5] Fraser had also described a subspecies Hyaleothemis fruhstorferi apicalis in 1924[6] which may be a synonym of this.[7]

Description and habitat

It is a medium sized dragonfly with bluish-green eyes. Its thorax is black, marked with pale blue. There are two fine mid-dorsal stripes and a humeral stripe broadening below. Laterally blue, with a rather broad black stripe which bifurcates below

to form an inverted Y. Abdomen is slim, black, marked with pale blue. There is a large lateral spot and a triangular apical mid-dorsal spot on segment 1. There is a fine mid-dorsal stripe, a large subdorsal apical spot and a large ventro-lateral spot on segment 2. Ssegments S to 6 have lateral stripes. Segment 7 has a large dorsal spot on the basal three-fourths. Anal appendages are black. Female is similar to the male; but greenish-yellow instead of blue, as in the sub-adult male.[5]

It is found in small colonies closely associated with forested marshes. It breeds in the seepage from marshes along the banks of mountain streams and usually found resting on the foliage beside streams.[8][9]
