Elattoneura souteri[2][1] is a damselfly species in the family Platycnemididae. It is endemic to Western Ghats in India.[1]

It is found on the banks of submontane streams in Western Ghats, hiding in shaded areas beneath overhanging bamboo, cane or bushes. On flight, the whole of the head, thorax, and base of abdomen appear uniformly red and so easily distinguishable from other species in this genus.[1][3][4]
