Austroaeschna ingrid is a species of large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae,[3] known as the Grampians darner. It is known only from the Grampians in western Victoria, Australia, where it inhabits small streams and bogs.[4]
Austroaeschna ingrid is a very dark dragonfly with pale markings. It appears similar to the S-spot darner, Austroaeschna christine, the multi-spotted darner, Austroaeschna multipunctata, and the Sydney mountain darner, Austroaeschna obscura.[2]
Etymology
[edit]The genus name Austroaeschna combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Aeshna, a genus of dragonflies.[5]
In 2008, Günther Theischinger named this species ingrid, honouring his granddaughter Ingrid.[2][6][7]
