Nannodiplax rubra, commonly called the pygmy percher, is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. Its distribution seems to be limited to Australia and New Guinea.[1] They are tiny dragonflies (wingspan 40mm, length 25mm) with a bright red abdomen and clear wings and 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.[1] The taxon has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List, but it is listed in the Catalogue of Life.
