Euphaea fraseri,[2][1] Malabar 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 in various locations up to Goa.[5][1]
They breed in hill streams but at a lower elevation. Males usually found on low herbage along the banks of the streams. Females are not uncommon in the neighbouring jungle, settled on twigs at about 8 to 12 feet from the ground.[1][6][5][7][3][4]
