==Description and habitat==<br />
[[File:Burmagomphus cauvericus from Arivikuthu, Thodupuzha by Kausthubh K N, 6-7-2021.jpg|thumb|left|''Burmagomphus cauvericus'' from [[Thodupuzha]], [[Kerala]]]]<br />
It is a medium-sized dragonfly with bottle-green eyes. Its thorax is black, marked with greenish-yellow stripes. The upper [[humeral spot]] is usually absent. Lateral markings on thorax are very similar to those of ''[[Burmagomphus pyramidalis]]''; the stripe on the first suture is almost confluent to join the upper part of the stripe on the second suture. This species can be easily recognized by the anterior thoracic markings of ''[[Burmagomphus laidlawi]]'' with the lateral thoracic markings of ''[[Burmagomphus pyramidalis]]''.<ref name=Fraser>{{cite book|author=C FC Lt.
