About Cordulephya pygmaea Selys, 1871
Cordulephya pygmaea, scientifically described by Selys in 1871, is a dragonfly species in the family Austrocorduliidae. Its common name is the common shutwing. This species is endemic to eastern Australia, and it lives in streams. It ranges from small to tiny in size, and its body is black or purplish-black with yellowish markings. Unlike most other dragonflies (members of Anisoptera), it rests with its wings folded above its body, just like many damselflies do.
