Neurothemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae.[2] They are found in India, Asia, Australia and the Pacific region.[3] Most Neurothemis species are red in color.

Etymology

The genus name Neurothemis combines the Greek νεῦρον (neuron, "nerve" or "vein") and -themis, from Greek Θέμις (Themis), the goddess of divine law, order and justice. In early odonate taxonomy, names ending in -themis were introduced by Hagen and were widely used for dragonflies.[1][4]
