}}Libellago indica,[1] southern heliodor[2] is a species of damselfly in the family Chlorocyphidae. It is found only in South India. It breeds in hill streams and rivers.[3][4]

Fraser described this damselfly in 1928 as a subspecies of Libellago lineata.[5][6] Most authors have followed Fraser’s original view for a long time, although Lieftinck considered L. indica as a good species (Lieftinck, 1940,p. 88; 1955, p. 68; 1971,p. 206). Recently De Fonseka 2000, Hämäläinen 2002[7] and World Odonata List[1] listed L. indica as a good species.

Description and habitat

It is a small damselfly with large head and brown capped yellowish eyes. Its thorax is black with yellow marks. Wings are transparent with apical black spots on the fore-wings. The abdomen is black with large yellow spots on lateral sides on segments 2 to 7. Segments 2 to 5 have broad mid-dorsal black stripes which is absent in Libellago lineata. These abdominal markings will help to easily distinguish it from Libellago lineata. Female is dull brown and with transparent wings. Sub-adult males have also transparent wings.[5][6]

It is common on the banks of rivers and streams flowing through the forests. Frequently found sitting in emergent water plants and overhanging bushes. It breeds in hill streams and rivers.[6]
