Diceratobasis macrogaster is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae endemic to Jamaica. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Unlike most damselflies, the larvae of D. macrogaster live in pools which form in the leaves of bromeliads.[2]
