Cordulagomphus is an extinct genus of dragonflies from the Early Cretaceous. It contains nine species; most are from the Crato Formation of Brazil, though C. europaeus is from the Weald Clay of England.^[1] C. xavieri, C. senckenbergi, C. primaerensis, and C. michaeli are classified in subgenus Procordulagomphus.^[2]^[3] Caririlabia santanensis was originally described as a species of Cordulagomphus.^[4]
