Pseudocordulia is a small genus of dragonflies endemic to tropical northeastern Australia.[2] They are medium-sized, bronze-black dragonflies with clear wings.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit]Pseudocordulia was formerly considered to be the only genus in the family Pseudocorduliidae. However, recent research and taxonomic updates have led to Pseudocorduliidae no longer being recognised as a family, and Pseudocordulia is now placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.[4][5]
Species
[edit]The genus Pseudocordulia includes the following two species:[5]
- Pseudocordulia circularis Tillyard, 1909
- Pseudocordulia elliptica Tillyard, 1913
