Euphaea formosa, the Formosan damselfly, is a species of damselfly in the family Euphaeidae.[1][2][3] It is common in Taiwan. There is a single historical record from Xiamen, China as Euphaea compar,[1] though this 19th-century specimen was likely mislabeled;[4] today the species is considered endemic to Taiwan.[5] [6] [7] [8]
The IUCN conservation status of Euphaea formosa is 'least concern', with no immediate threat to the species' survival.[1]
