Chalcostephia is a monotypic genus[2] of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae containing the single species Chalcostephia flavifrons. It is known by the common names yellowface and inspector.[1] It is native to central Africa, where it has a widespread distribution.[1] This dragonfly lives in swampy habitats. It is affected by the drainage and reclamation of swamps for agriculture, but it is not considered to be threatened.[1]
