Austroaeschna pinheyi is a species of Australian dragonfly in the family Telephlebiidae,[3] known as an inland darner. It has only been found in the Carnarvon Gorge vicinity of Central Queensland, where it inhabits streams.[4]
Austroaeschna pinheyi is a shorter-bodied blackish dragonfly with pale markings.[5]
Etymology
In 2001, Günther Theischinger named this species pinheyi, an eponym in acknowledgement of his colleague Elliot Pinhey,[2] an entomologist who worked extensively in Africa and made major contributions to the knowledge of dragonflies and other insect groups.[6]
