Heliogomphus promelas is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats of India.[1][2] This species is found on small mountain streams or occasionally restricted to tiny brooks or seepage on hillsides. It occurs in colonies, and is thus usually moderately common where found.[3]
