Coeliccia schorri

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Coeliccia schorri faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat degradation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. Stream pollution from agricultural runoff and urban development threatens the pristine water quality essential for its larval development. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction and climate-induced changes to forest stream ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This damselfly inhabits pristine forest streams and small rivers within tropical rainforest environments. It requires clean, well-oxygenated flowing water with dense riparian vegetation for breeding and larval development.
