Euphaea dispar,[2][1] Nilgiri torrent dart,[3][4] is a species of damselfly in the family Euphaeidae.[1]
This species is endemic to the Western Ghats, known to occur only in north of the Palghat Gap; Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kodagu to the Nilgiris.[5][1]
They breed in streams flowing through evergreen forests. Usually the males are found perched on the twigs hanging some feet above the water, and often at a great height. The males of this species can be easily distinguished from other Euphaea species by the extent of black on apices of hind-wings, and by its turquoise-blue labrum and mandibles.[1][5][6][3][4]
