Somatochlora taiwana is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is endemic to Taiwan, [2] and is the only member of the genus Somatochlora found there. [1] [3] It is a metallic green to black dragonfly with yellow spots, and measures about 35 mm long. [1] It is closely related to S. shennong and S. dido, and is sometimes treated as conspecific with the latter species. [3]

The holotype is a male that was collected near Lake Yuanyang [ zh] (its probable breeding habitat) in Hsinchu at 1,670 m (5,480 ft) above sea level. [1] Another population has been discovered later on. [3]
