Description and habitat
editSélys described this species in 1897 from Yokohama, Japan. Fraser described Anaciaeschna donaldi from specimens collected from Kodaikanal, Yercaud and Ooty. It flies at dusk and breeds in still water in the lakes. Its eyes are dark olivaceous brown, prothorax is dark brown, and thorax is maroon with apple green marks. Its abdomen is dark brown with apple green mark on first three segments and pale yellowish brown marks on the sides of segments four to seven.[6][7]
There are no significant in morphological or molecular genetic differences between A. donaldi and A. martini; therefore it is possible that A. donaldi should be a junior synonym of A. martini,[8][9] but the IUCN still maintains it as valid.[5]
