Hesperocordulia is a genus of dragonflies in the superfamily Libelluloidea,[4] endemic to south-western Australia.

[5] Hesperocordulia berthoudi is a medium-sized, orange, red and black dragonfly with clear wings and very long legs.

[8] It inhabits streams, rivers and pools.

[9] Recent taxonomic research could not assign the genus Hesperocordulia to any family and it was placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.

[10] Prior to this, Hesperocordulia had been considered to be part of the family Oxygastridae.
