Abstract

Neocordulia (Mesocordulia) pedroi sp. n. is described and illustrated based on a reared adult male from Tapinuã stream, Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia, Santa Teresa municipality, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. The holotype is deposited in the Museu Nacional, UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This new species can be separated of the other species of the genus by the following characters: cerci strongly convergent and vesica spermalis with shorter flagellum.
