Anaciaeschna martini, [2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae. It is found in Japan, India, Sri Lanka, and recently from Nepal. [3] [4] [1] [5]
Sélys described this species in 1897 from Yokohama, Japan. Fraser described Anaciaeschna donaldi from specimens collected from Kodaikanal, Yercaud and Ooty. It flies at dusk and breeds in still water in the lakes. Its eyes are dark olivaceous brown, prothorax is dark brown, and thorax is maroon with apple green marks. Its abdomen is dark brown with apple green mark on first three segments and pale yellowish brown marks on the sides of segments four to seven. [6] [7]
There are no significant in morphological or molecular genetic differences between A. donaldi and A. martini; therefore it is possible that A. donaldi should be a junior synonym of A. martini, [8] [9] but the IUCN still maintains it as valid. [5]

Melligomphus acinaces is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the streams of Western Ghats of India. This species was originally described as a Onychogomphus. However, both the pattern and the shape of the anal appendages do not fit Onychogomphus but are very close to those of the species placed in Melligomphus.
Lamelligomphus nilgiriensis is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the hill streams of Western Ghats of India. This species has been placed by many authors in Onychogomphus but should be included in Lamelligomphus following Fraser (1934), based on the shape of the male anal appendages.

Somatochlora daviesi is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It was first described in 1977 based on specimens from Meghalaya, India, and is also known from Nepal and Bhutan. It resembles the east Asian S. dido in its small size and lack of yellow markings on most of the abdomen. Like other species in the genus, S. davisi is predominantly dark metallic brown to green. The formerly recognised Somatochlora nepalensis is now considered to be a synonym of S. daviesi.
