Libellulosoma is a genus of dragonfly in the family Aeschnosomatidae, endemic to Madagascar.[2][3] The genus is closely related to the genera, Pentathemis, Schizocordulia and Aeschnosoma found in northern Australia and tropical South America.[3][4] The only known species is Libellulosoma minutum.[5]
In 2016, Libellulosoma minutum was identified in south-eastern Madagascar in forest fragments around the Sainte Luce Reserve after 109 years without detection.[5]
