Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
This is a widespread species with no known major threats. It is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a threatened category. It is assessed as Least Concern.
Distribution
Azuragrion nigridorsum ranges from South Africa to Ethiopia and Oman and Yemen in the south of the Arabian Peninsula, including Socotra. It also occurs in Madagascar. The westernmost records of this species (Niger, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Cameroon) are most likely misidentifications and should pertain to A. vansomereni (the Guinea-Bissau record is illustrated and clearly belong to that species).
