Nannodiplax rubra, commonly called the pygmy percher,[4] is a species of dragonfly in the monotypic genus Nannodiplax.[5] Its distribution seems to be limited to Australia and New Guinea.[4] They are tiny dragonflies (wingspan 40 mm, length 25 mm) with a bright red abdomen and clear wings. They are found near a wide variety of rivers and streams. The Australian distribution ranges from Broome, Western Australia via the north and east to around Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.[4] The taxon has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List, but it is listed in the Catalogue of Life.
