Burmagomphus vermicularis, the dog-legged clubtail, is a species of clubtail dragonfly found in East Asia.
Burmagomphus vermicularis was first scientifically described in 1904 in the genus Gomphus by Martin, from a specimen found in Tonkin (Vietnam). In 1907, the species was redescribed and transferred to the new genus Burmagomphus by Williamson.[1] Martin's original description was "very poor and without illustrations".[2]
