Context
The rare dragonfly species Zynacantha khasiaca has been rediscovered in Arunachal Pradesh after a gap of about 110 years. The species was recently sighted along the Miao–Vijaynagar road within the Namdapha National Park and Tiger Reserve, highlighting the rich biodiversity of India's northeastern forests.
Historical Background
The species was last officially recorded in Arunachal Pradesh during the historic Abor Expedition in 1914. Since then, it had disappeared from regional records, leading to uncertainty about its status in the state. Its rediscovery demonstrates the importance of continuous biodiversity surveys in remote and ecologically sensitive regions.
