Austroaeschna muelleri is a species of large dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae,[3] known as the Carnarvon darner.[4] It has been found only in Carnarvon National Park in Central Queensland, Australia, where it inhabits small rocky streams.[5]

The male Austroaeschna muelleri is black with blue markings, while the female is brown with yellow markings.[4]

Etymology

The genus name Austroaeschna combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Aeshna, a genus of dragonflies.[6]

In 1982, Günther Theischinger named this species muelleri, an eponym honouring his friend and supporter Leonard Müller of Berowra, New South Wales.[2][7][8][9]
