Austroaeschna christine is a species of large dragonfly in the family Telephlebiidae,[2] known as the S-spot darner.[3] It is found in the vicinity of Eungella National Park in North Queensland, Australia, where it inhabits the upper reaches of small streams.[4]
Austroaeschna christine is a dark dragonfly with pale markings. It appears similar to the sigma darner, Austroaeschna sigma,[1] which is found in mountainous areas of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland[4] and the multi-spotted darner, Austroaeschna multipunctata,[3] which is found in the mountains of southern New South Wales and Victoria.[4]
