Idionyx gomantakensis, [1] commonly known as Goan shadow dancer, [2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Synthemistidae. It is known only from the Western Ghats of India. [3]
This species was first sighted at Collem, Goa by Parag Rangnekar and Rohan Naik during a survey of dragonflies conducted by them under the banner of the Mineral Foundation of Goa, and supported by the Department of Science and Technology. [4]
This new species can be differentiated from other species of Idionyx by long and slender cerci and epiproct, absence of teeth in the basal half of the cerci, and a tuft of golden hairs at the end of the lateral lobes of the epiproct. [5]
