Somatochlora viridiaenea is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. The species was described in 1858 by American entomologist Philip Reese Uhler based on a female specimen from Hokkaido, Japan.[3] It has also been recorded on Honshu, in eastern Russia, and in Zhejiang, China.[4][5] The Zhejiang specimen was described as a separate species [5], but a 2021 paper found that it should be treated as part of S. viridiaenea.[6] Its closest relative is another East Asian species, S. clavata.[7]
