Africallagma elongatum is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is known by the common name elongate bluet. It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and northern Tanzania; it is most common in highlands. Its natural habitats include tropical swamps, reedy streams, pools and lake shores.[1]

Taxonomy

Although it has been lumped with Africallagma fractum, most authorities now recognize both taxa as valid species.[1][2][3][4]
