Neurothemis terminata is one of the 4 confusing Neurothemis species that easily mixed up by their similar red color and pattern.

But the Neurothemis terminate is easier to separate from others by their wing tip pattern. Neurothemis terminate hind wing red area margin is straight and perpendicular to the wing margin.
