Esme cyaneovittata[2][1] is damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is endemic to Western Ghats in India, south of Palakkad Gap.[1]
It is found along hill streams, commonly found in colonies like those of Caconeura gomphoides. Segments 3 to 7 of abdomen are black with very narrow complete baso-dorsal annules; segments 8 to 10 blue, the apical border of 10 narrowly and the ventral borders of all segments broadly black. It can be distinguished from Esme mudiensis from its labrum marked with blue. From Esme longistyla, it can be distinguished by its black legs unmarked with blue, by its stout inferior anal appendages, and by the broken blue lateral stripe on the prothorax.[3][4][5]
