Geographic Range [top]
Range Description:
The only certain record of Onychogomphus maculivertex is that of the holotype female from Meteleo in the Carin Hills of Myanmar (Selys 1891, Fraser 1934, Lieftinck 1960). A record of another female from Meghalaya in India (Lahiri 1987, Mitra 1989) may well actually refer to a different species.

Habitat and Ecology:
Nothing has been recorded on the habitat requirements of this species, but it is almost certainly a stream species, and likely to be confined to forested areas.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
Deforestation caused by clearance for agriculture and forestry, as well as hydropower development, are significant threats across large parts of the region, especially in hill areas, but the impact of this on the known localities of the species is not known.
The threats, if any, faced by this species cannot be assessed without fresh information on its distribution and habitat.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions:
There is an urgent need for Odonata surveys across Myanmar; such surveys are needed before any other conservation measures can be planned for this species.
