Gomphidia podhigai[1] is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is known only from the Western Ghats of India.[2]
It is described based on a male specimen found in the National Zoological Collections of the Zoological Survey of India in Chennai. It was collected from the Kanyakumari Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu. The species epithet podhigai is named after the ancient Tamil name for the Aghastyamalai were the type locality is situated.[2]
