}}Macromia bellicosa[2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Macromiidae. It is an endemic dragonfly and found only in Western Ghats in South India. It breeds in hill streams.[3]

Description

It is amedium sized dragonfly with greenish eyes. Its thorax is metallic bluish-green marked with citron-yellow. There is a short humeral stripe, an oblique narrow stripe on mesepimeron, a narrow stripe on the posterior border of metepimeron, and a narrow stripe traversing the sinus. Abdomen is black, marked with citron-yellow. There is a broad basal annule on segment 2 separated from the base on mid-dorsum and laterally by two black spots. Segment 3 has a narrow annule and a large baso-lateral spot. Segments 4 to 6 have similar but gradually narrwing annules. Segment 7 has the basal half yellow. Segment 8 has a very narrow basal ring. Segments 9 and 10 are unmarked. Anal appendages are dark ochreous.[4]

It can be distinguished from Macromia flavicincta by the restricted yellow markings here.[4][5]
