Sinaeschnidia (meaning "Chinese Aeschnidium") is a genus of prehistoric dragonfly. S. heishankowensis is a common component of the Jehol Biota of northeastern China. It is known from numerous specimens, both nymphs and imagos (adults).[1] S. martinezdelclosi is known from slightly earlier deposits in Las Hoyas, Spain.[2]
