Ceylonosticta
Ceylonosticta is a genus of damselfly in the family Platystictidae. Some authors consider some species to be in the genus Drepanosticta. Three new species were described from Sri Lanka in late 2016 with a rediscovery of Ceylonosticta subtropica.[1][2] The World Odonata List describes 21 species.
