Somatochlora dido is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is known from southeastern China and northern Vietnam, but populations in Vietnam may alternatively represent a separate, undescribed, species. [1] [3] S. dido has sometimes been treated as synonymous with S. taiwana from Taiwan, but more recent publications have treated them as separate species. [3] S. shennong is also closely related. [3]

Somatochlora dido was first described by James George Needham in 1930, in A Manual of the Dragonflies of China. [2]
