Burmagomphus cauvericus[2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It was earlier known only from the banks of Kaveri river in Kodagu district.[1][3] It is recently recorded from Kerala too.[4]

Description and habitat

It is a medium-sized dragonfly with bottle-green eyes. Its thorax is black, marked with greenish-yellow stripes. The upper humeral spot is usually absent. This species can be easily recognized by the anterior thoracic markings of Burmagomphus laidlawi with the lateral thoracic markings of Burmagomphus pyramidalis.[5]
