Acisoma panorpoides,[2] the Asian pintail,[3] trumpet tail,[4] or grizzled pintail,[1] is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae.

Distribution

It is widespread in Asia, from the Indian subcontinent to Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.[3][1][5]

Habitat

It is found in subtropical or tropical swampy or marshy habitats.[1][3] It has a very weak and short flight and keeps closely to the herbage and reeds in the heavily weeded tanks and lakes in which it breeds. The characteristic shape of the abdomen will serve to distinguish this species from other Libellulidae.[6][7][8][4]
