Bringing Shadowdragons to light: Neurocordulia (Anisoptera: Corduliidae) systematics

Neurocordulia, commonly called shadowdragons, are crepuscular dragonflies, flying mainly at dusk. The genus comprises seven species, which occur across the eastern part of Canada and the United States. Here, we used targeted enrichment probes to sequence ~1000 loci for all specimens of each species, allowing for the first phylogenetic assessment of the genus.
