Biology:Hemicordulia

From HandWiki

Hemicordulia is a genus of dragonfly in family Corduliidae.[1][2] It occurs in Africa, southern Asia, Australasia and Pacific Islands such as the Bonin Islands, Fiji and French Polynesia.[3][4] Species of Hemicordulia are small to medium-sized dragonflies, coloured black or metallic, with yellow.[3]

Following current research, Hemicordulia now includes species that had until recently been included in the genus Procordulia.[5]

Etymology

The genus name Hemicordulia is derived from the Greek ἡμι- (hēmi, "half"), combined with Cordulia, a genus name derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club" or "cudgel"). The name refers to the close relationship of the genus to Cordulia.[6][7]
