Apocordulia is a genus of dragonflies in the superfamily Libelluloidea,[3] endemic to the Murray-Darling Basin in eastern Australia.
[4] Apocordulia macrops is a medium-sized, dull coloured dragonfly with large eyes.
[2][9] The species name macrops is derived from two Greek words makros (μακρός) meaning long, and ops (ὤψ) meaning eye, describing the long eye seam.
[2][9] Recent taxonomic research could not assign the genus Apocordulia to any family and it was placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.
[10] Prior to this, Apocordulia had been considered to be part of one of several families: Austrocorduliidae, Synthemistidae or Corduliidae.
