Diplacodes pumila, the dwarf percher, is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.[1] Its natural habitats are grassy margins of wetlands in moist savanna and grassland.[1][3]
This species is similar to Diplacodes lefebvrii, the black percher, but is much smaller, the hindwing being 17–18 mm long; that of Diplacodes lefebvrii is usually 22–23 mm long.[3]
