Paracercion calamorum,[2][1] the dusky lilysquatter,[3][4] is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It has a range that extends from southern far-eastern Russia to Japan, and to India and Indonesia. The nominate subspecies P. c. calamorum is known from central and eastern China, Korea and Japan. The subspecies P. c. dyeri occurs in southern China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, India, Nepal, and Thailand.[1]

It breeds in stagnant and weedy ponds, resting flat on floating grasses and lotus leaves. Eggs are inserted well within the up-curled rim of the lotus leaf or any other floating vegetation.[5][6][7][3][4]
