Iridictyon myersi is a species of broad-winged damselfly in the family Calopterygidae.[1][3][4][5] It is found only on the tepuis of Venezuela and Guyana at elevations of 1,000–2,400 m (3,300–7,900 ft) above sea level.[1][6]
Iridictyon myersi has a restricted range and is only known from a few locations. However, the range is within the Canaima National Park and there are no threats to its habitat.[1]
