Abstract

Hemicordulia asiatica Selys, 1878, is one of only two species of Corduliidae occurring in India and is very rarely encountered. Here, we compile the records of the species from India. Previous breeding records have been restricted to montane lakes and pools of mountain streams. We report its breeding from the plains for the first time. Teneral individuals were photographed and collected from domestic wells in Kerala, southern India. Our observations show that some adults of H. asiatica probably descend to the plains for breeding.
