    ID-ing damselflies can be tricky, so not an expert either. Give how difficult it is, I would like to ask you which reference you used to come to this species? Posted 7 years ago

      Yes, I used the book Dragonfly Fauna of Sri Lanka, by Karen Conniff, Nancy Van der Poorten and Matjaž Bedjanič. I also used Dragonflies of Sri Lanka by Gehan De Silva (pdf) but the illustrations are not very clear.
