Fluminagrion taxaense is a critically endangered species of damselfly endemic to Brazil . It may be restricted to Rio de Janeiro, and could possibly be extinct as it has not been seen since its description in 1965.[1] Some of the characteristics of this species are posterior lobe of prothorax trilobate, medial lobe rounded in both male and female, segment 3 of genital ligula C-shaped in lateral view and lack of mesepisternal fossa in female S8 with vulvar spine
