Orthetrum pruinosum,[2] the crimson-tailed marsh hawk,[3][4][5] is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. It is a widespread species occurring from west India to Japan and south to Java and the Sunda Islands.[4][5][6] A molecular phylogenetics study of Orthetrum dragonflies revealed that Orthetrum pruinosum is a cryptic species.[7]
Three subspecies are recognized.[1]
- O. p. neglectum (mainland Asia)
- O. p. schneideri (Malay peninsula and Borneo)
- O. p. clelia (Philippines and Taiwan)
