Pseudagrion coarctatum

Unknown

Overview

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

Pseudagrion coarctatum faces significant pressure from habitat degradation and loss of suitable wetland environments across its range. Agricultural expansion and urban development have reduced available breeding sites, while water pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial activities degrades water quality in remaining habitats. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that affect seasonal water levels critical for reproduction.

Threat summary

Habitat

This damselfly species inhabits freshwater wetlands, including slow-moving streams, ponds, and marshy areas with abundant aquatic vegetation. It requires clean water with suitable emergent plants for egg-laying and larval development.
