Cordulegaster trinacriae is a species of dragonfly in the family Cordulegastridae. It is endemic to central-southern Italy, from Abruzzo south to Calabria and Sicily, from where it was first described (hence the scientific name) (Corso 2019, Corso et al. 2020, Corso et al. 2025). Its natural habitats are humid forests, rivers and freshwater springs. It is threatened by habitat loss, water pollution, global warming and, as limiting direct impact, by the destructive tourism trend of "acqua-trekking".
