Pseudocordulia is the only genus of dragonflies in the family, Pseudocorduliidae. They are medium-sized, bronze-black dragonflies with clear wings, and are endemic to tropical north-eastern Australia.
==Recent taxonomic history== Until about 2013, Pseudocordulia was considered to be the only genus in the family Pseudocorduliidae. Research and taxonomic updates led to Pseudocorduliidae no longer being recognised as a family, and the genus Pseudocordulia being placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea. Its precise placement remained uncertain for some years.
