Notogomphus maathaiae, commonly known as Maathai’s longleg, is a species of dragonfly in the clubtail family Gomphidae. It is thought to be endemic montane streams in Kenya.[1] The species is considered endangered because the continued destruction of its montane forest habitat by humans creates a very high risk of extinction in the near future.[2]
The species was described by Viola Clausnitzer and Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra in 2005. They named it in honor of Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement and the first African woman to receive a Nobel Peace Prize.[1]
