Amphiallagma parvum, the little blue or azure dartlet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, the sole species of the genus Amphiallagma. This species can be found in many South Asian countries including India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal, and probably in Bangladesh.
Description and habitat

The public source identifies “Amphiallagma” as genus of insects. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Amphiallagma, genus and insects.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Amphiallagma”, the useful work is to connect “genus of insects” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1863209. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
