Hemicordulia hilaris is a species of Pacific dragonfly in the family Corduliidae, first described by the Dutch entomologist Maurits Lieftinck in 1975.[1][2] The species is found across the Pacific Islands including Samoa and New Caledonia,[3][4][5] with its range extending east to the Cook Islands and French Polynesia.[6][7]

Hemicordulia hilaris have brown-green abdomens with a metallic sheen. It can be differentiated from Hemicordulia fidelis, which has a similar appearance, however bright yellow spots on the lower body segments.[5] The species tends to prefer living in sunny, shallow swamps with dene reed beds.[3]
