Megalagrion jugorum (common name Maui Upland Damselfly) [2] is a possibly extinct species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae that is endemic to the island of Maui in Hawaii. [3]
Megalagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. It contains approximately 26 species, all of which are endemic to Hawaiʻi. Megalagrion damselflies are the only native damselflies in Hawaiʻi, and are referred to as "pinapinao" in ʻ ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. Other endemic Hawaiian Odonata are the dragonflies Anax strenuus and Nesogonia blackburni, which are referred to as "pinao".
