Bradinopyga konkanensis-Konkan Rockdweller

According to a paper published in the journal Zootaxa, a new species of dragonfly endemic to the lowland region of Konkan in Maharashtra, has been profiled.

  • Bradinopyga konkanensis, called ‘Konkan Rockdweller’ has been discovered by photographer Dattaprasad Sawant and researcher Shantanu Joshi.
  • According to Joshi, this species is restricted to the coastal zone perhaps due to its similarity with another species, the Granite Ghost, it has remained undescribed.
