Bradinopyga konkanensis sp. nov. is described based on three males and one female collected from the coastal region of Maharashtra, India. Important characters are illustrated and compared with morphologically similar species Bradinopyga geminata (Rambur, 1842), Indothemis carnatica (Fabricius, 1798), and Indothemis limbata sita Campion, 1923. Bradinopyga konkanensis sp. nov. is so far the only Western Ghats endemic Odonata species associated with lateritic coastal habitats.
新物种康坎布拉迪诺蜓(Bradinopyga konkanensis sp. nov.)是根据从印度马哈拉施特拉邦沿海地区采集的三只雄性和一只雌性标本描述的。文中展示了该物种的重要特征,并与形态相似的物种——宝石布拉迪诺蜓(Bradinopyga geminata (Rambur, 1842))、卡纳蒂卡印色蟌(Indothemis carnatica (Fabricius, 1798))和林巴塔印色蟌锡塔亚种(Indothemis limbata sita Campion, 1923)进行了比较。康坎布拉迪诺蜓是迄今为止唯一一种与红土沿海栖息地相关的西高止山脉特有蜻蜓物种。
