Notes on an undescribed new Dysphaea species from north-eastern India and north-eastern Bangladesh (Odonata: Euphaeidae)

Abstract

. In several publications in India and Bangladesh, photographic images of a Dysphaea Selys, 1853, species with striking caerulean coloration on the male abdomen have been identified as Dysphaea walli Fraser, 1927, a species described from the Shan State in Burma. We present evidence suggesting that these individuals represent an undescribed new species, rather than D. walli , and document the published records of this new species from India and Bangladesh.
