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

Description

It is a medium sized dragonfly with blue eyes. Its thorax is metallic bluish-violet, marked with bright citron-yellow. There is a mid-dorsal carina, a narrow humeral stripe, an oblique stripe on each side traversing the mesepimeron, and a narrow stripe bordering the metepimeron. Abdomen is black, ringed with pale citron-yellow. Segment 2 has its basal half and the apical end of ventral border are yellow. Segment 3 has a pair of sub-basal dorsal spots, and laterally a triangular spot at base. Segments

4 to 7 have complete annules situated at the same place as the spots on segment 3. The ring on segment 7 almost extending to base of segment and with a fan-shaped extension overlapping the jugal suture. Segment 8 has the ring covering the basal half of segment. Segment 9 has an angulated spot on each side at the base. Segment 10 is unmarked. Anal appendages are black.[4]

Its delicate build, black color with yellow markings, lips broadly bordered with black, and face bright yellow barred with black will easily distinguish it from other Macromia species.[4]

Habitat

It is usually found hawking over shallow water streams flowing over submontane areas.[4][5]
