Indolestes davenporti[1] is a species of damselfly in the family Lestidae. It is known only from Western Ghats, south of Palakkad Gap.[2]
Fraser described this damselfly in 1930 as Ceylonolestes davenporti.[3] Later it was considered as a subspecies of Indolestes gracilis. Kimmins re-evaluated it as a good species, Indolestes davenporti.[4][1][2]
Habitat
Indolestes davenporti is found south of the Palakkad Gap, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet in Western Ghats. It is found around grassy edges of ponds, streams and marshes in the hills.[3][5][6]
