Lamelligomphus tutulus

Unknown

Overview

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

Lamelligomphus tutulus faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and water pollution in its limited range across Southeast Asia. Stream modification and dam construction have altered the natural flow regimes essential for this dragonfly's larval development. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the seasonal water cycles this species depends upon for reproduction.

Threat summary

Habitat

This dragonfly species inhabits clean, fast-flowing streams and small rivers in forested areas of Southeast Asia. The larvae require well-oxygenated water with rocky or sandy substrates, while adults are typically found near riparian vegetation along these waterways.
