Disparoneura quadrimaculata,[2][1] black-winged bambootail[3][4] is a damselfly species in the family Platycnemididae. It is a widely distributed species in India.[1]

They are confined to hill streams and rivers of forested landscapes. Males frequently perches on emergent aquatic plants and overhanging vegetation. It breeds in hill streams.[1][5][6][3][4]

The male can be easily identified from the wings. The fore wing pair traversed by a broad blackish brown fascia, which extends from near the node to half-way from that structure to the pterostigma. The hind wing pair traversed by a similar fascia which begins about 5 cells distal to the node and extends to within one or two cells of the pterostigma.[5]
