Adversaeschna is a monotypic genus of large dragonflies in the family Aeshnidae.[2] Adversaeschna brevistyla is the only known species of this genus which is found in Australia, New Zealand, Norfolk Island and some Pacific Islands.[3]
Species
The genus Adversaeschna includes only one species:[4]
- Adversaeschna brevistyla (Rambur, 1842)
Etymology
The word Adversaeschna is a combination of two Latin words: adversus, meaning opposite in physical position; and aeschna, derived from the genus Aeshna named by Danish entomologist Johan Fabricius in 1775.[5] Adversaeschna brevistyla was described by Tony Watson in 1992 as being taxonomically isolated from other dragonflies in the genus Aeshna.[1][5]
