Macromia flavicincta[2] is a species of dragonfly in the family Macromiidae. It is an endemic dragonfly in India.[3][1][4][5]
It is a medium sized dragonfly with emerald-green eyes. Its thorax is dark brown with a blue metallic reflex, marked with citron-yellow. There is a rather broad humeral stripe, an oblique lateral stripe on mesepimeron, and a narrow stripe on the posterior border of metepimeron. Abdomen is black, ringed with citron-yellow. Segment 2 has its basal half yellow. Segments 3 to 6 have the whole space from jugal suture to base of segment yellow. But the extream basal area is reddish-brown, cutting into the yellow annule dorsally. Segment 7 has a broad ring covering more than the basal half. Segment 8 has a similar ring covering rather less than the basal half. Segment 9 has a small baso-lateral transverse spot. Segment 10 is unmarked. Anal appendages are ochreous.[6]
This species can be distinguished from other Macromia by its very broad abdominal yellow annules, entirely yellow labium, and by the black T-shaped mark on the frons.[6][7]
