Africallagma cuneistigma
Overview
Africallagma cuneistigma is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Africallagma cuneistigma faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Mining operations and infrastructure development pose additional pressures on the remaining suitable habitat patches.
Habitat
This species inhabits specific microhabitats within dry savanna and woodland areas of eastern Africa. It requires particular soil conditions and vegetation structure that are increasingly fragmented by human activities.
