The Quebec Emerald or Robert's Emerald (Somatochlora brevicincta) is a species of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It is one of 42 species in the genus Somatochlora found in the Northern Hemisphere.[2] It is one of the rarest members of the Odonata to be found in Canada and one of the most recently described.[3] Adrien Robert, a Canadian entomologist, Cleric of Saint Viator, and professor at the University of Montreal, first described S. brevicincta in 1954.[4][5]
