Austrogomphus doddi, also known as Austrogomphus (Austrogomphus) doddi, is a species of dragonfly of the family Gomphidae,[3] commonly known as the northern river hunter.[4] It inhabits streams and rivers in north-eastern Queensland, Australia.[5][6]
Austrogomphus doddi is a tiny to medium-sized, black and yellow dragonfly.[4]
Etymology
[edit]The genus name Austrogomphus combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Gomphus, a genus name derived from Greek γόμφος (gomphos, “peg” or “nail”), alluding to the clubbed shape of the abdomen in males.[7]
In 1909, Robin Tillyard named this species doddi, an eponym honouring Frederick Parkhurst Dodd (1861-1937), an amateur collector of butterflies and beetles.[2][8][9]
