Macromia irina

Declining

Overview

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

Macromia irina faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its limited range in Southeast Asia. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial activities threatens the pristine stream conditions essential for larval development. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the seasonal flooding cycles critical for breeding success.

Threat summary

Habitat

This dragonfly species inhabits clear, fast-flowing streams and small rivers in forested areas of Southeast Asia. Adults require adjacent forest canopy for roosting and hunting, while larvae develop in clean, well-oxygenated water with rocky or sandy substrates.
