Pseudocordulia circularis

Pseudocordulia circularis, commonly known as a circle-tipped mistfly, is a species of dragonfly in the family Pseudocorduliidae.[3][4] It is a medium-sized, bronze-black dragonfly with clear wings.[5] It is endemic to north-eastern Queensland, Australia,[6] where it inhabits rainforest streams.[7]

Etymology

The genus name Pseudocordulia is derived from the Greek ψευδής (pseudēs, "false" or "deceptive") combined with Cordulia, the name of a related genus, indicating that it is not a true member of that genus.[2][8]

The species name circularis refers to the almost circular shape of the male appendages.[2][9]
