Records of Coeliccia kimurai

Coeliccia kimurai is an uncommon damselfly species. It was described by Asahina (1990) based on two specimens (one male and one female) collected by Y. Kimura from Yala Province of Thailand (southern part of Peninsular Thailand) in 1988.

I spotted this species at two locations - Gunung Angsi-Berumbum (Negeri Sembilan) and Pangkor Islands (Perak). The record information of this species can be viewed at the following references:
