Austrogomphus mouldsorum, also known as Austrogomphus (Austrogomphus) mouldsorum, is a species of dragonfly of the family Gomphidae,[3] commonly known as the Kimberley hunter.[4] It is only known from one location, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.[5]
Austrogomphus mouldsorum is a 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.[6]
In 1999, Theischinger named this species mouldsorum, an eponym honouring the collectors Max Moulds and Barbara J. Moulds.[2][7][8]
