Macrogomphus wynaadicus is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India.
Description and habitat
It is a medium-sized dragonfly with its thorax black, having two thick yellow ante-humeral stripes. Abdomen is black, marked with citron-yellow paired spots. Segment 2 has a dorsal stripe broken at its centre. Segment 3 has a large base-lateral dorsal spot. Segments 4 to 6 have similar, but smaller spots. Segment 7 has the basal half marked with yellow. Segments 8 and 9 have baso-lateral triangular spots. Segment 8 is very broad, segment 9 is tapering from base to apex, and nearly as long as segments 7 and 8 together as peculiar in genus Macrogomphus. It looks very similar to Macrogomphus annulatus; but can be distinguished by the paired spots on abdominal segments 3 to 6 instead of complete rings. The species is found in forested streams where it breeds.
