Caconeura ramburi[2][1] is a damselfly species in the family Platycnemididae. It is commonly known as the Coorg Bambootail[3] or Indian blue bambootail.[4] It is endemic to Western Ghats.[1] Comparatively rare south of the Palakkad Gap, where it is replaced largely by Esme species.[5]
It breeds in forest streams. A larger and more slender insect than C. gomphoides, and breeding at a lower altitude, comaped to it. The larger size, differently shaped pterostigma, and the absence of a ventral spine on the base of the superior appendages, as well as the head entirely black beneath, will distinguish it from C. risi.[5][6][3][4]
