Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Published records are from two locations in eastern Kalimantan (Lieftinck 1953, 1954, 1964), Songkhla in southern Thailand (Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999) and Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia (Hämäläinen 2000, Orr 2005). Clearly this species is quite widely distributed in Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.

Population [top]
Population: Few individuals of B. arthuri have ever been collected. It was described from a single female (Lieftinck 1953), later Lieftinck reported three more females (1964). There was a single record from Thailand (Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999) and two females and a teneral (moulted exoskeleton) male (in too poor a condition to describe) were collected in Pahang (Hämäläinen 2000). The species is certainly rarely collected, but there is insufficient information to say whether it is actually rare.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: Unknown
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: There is very little published on the habitat or ecology of B. arthuri, but it is likely to be a species of lowland, low-gradient forest streams, as is the case for many other species of Burmagomphus.
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The species is experiencing habitat loss through clear-cutting of forests.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: More data is needed on this species. The status of the habitats where the species was originally found in Kalimantan needs to be checked (but is doubtful). Expert searches need to be made throughout Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.
