Teinobasis aurea

Declining

Overview

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

Teinobasis aurea faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its limited range across Indonesian islands. Deforestation and agricultural conversion threaten the pristine forest streams this damselfly requires for breeding. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and human settlements further compromises the quality of its aquatic breeding habitats, while climate change may alter the delicate hydrological conditions essential for larval development.

Threat summary

Habitat

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