Cordulephya bidens is a species of dragonfly in the family Austrocorduliidae,[3][4] commonly known as the tropical shutwing.[5] It inhabits rainforest streams in northern Queensland, Australia.[6][7]

Cordulephya bidens is a small to tiny, black or purplish-black dragonfly with yellowish markings. It rests with its wings folded above its body, similar to a damselfly.[5]

Etymology

The genus name Cordulephya combines Cordulia, a genus name derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club" or "cudgel"), with Greek φυή (phyē, "form", "stature" or "growth"), thus meaning "having the form of Cordulia".[8]

The species name bidens is Latin for "two-toothed" or "with two teeth", likely referring to the teeth on the male appendages.[2][8]
