Archaeosynthemis spiniger is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae,[3] known as the spiny tigertail.[4] It is a medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings.[4] It inhabits streams and rivers in south-western Australia.[5][6]

Archaeosynthemis spiniger was once known as Synthemis spiniger.[7]

Etymology

The genus name Archaeosynthemis combines the Greek ἀρχαῖος (arkhaios, "ancient" or "archaic") with Synthemis, an existing genus of dragonflies.[8]

The species name spiniger is Latin for "thorn-bearing" or "spine-bearing", referring to the spine on the male appendages.[2][9]
