A seventh Australian species of Orthetrum Newman, O. serapia sp.n., is described. The closely allied species O. sabina (Drury) is redescribed and a neotype designated for it. The range of O. serapia extends from the southwest Pacific to, apparently, the Philippines where, as in Australia and New Guinea, it overlaps that of O. sabina.
