Euphaea amphicyana is a species of damselfly that is endemic to the Philippines. This species prefers open spaces in forested clear flowing streams, creeks and rivers. E. amphicyana seems to tolerate moderate human disturbance as long as vegetations and clear running water is maintained. Unfortunately, heavy deforestation and human settlement is occurring within its range and these are a threat to the species.
