Austrophya monteithorum is a species of dragonfly in the family Austrocorduliidae,[3] known as the summit mystic.[4] It is probably a small dragonfly, adults have not been seen.[4] It is known only from larva found at the summit plateau of Thornton Peak, north-west of Cairns in tropical Queensland, Australia.[2]
Etymology
Austrophya monteithorum is named after Geoff and Sybil Monteith of the Queensland Museum who collected the type material in an expedition to Thornton Peak in 1984.[2]
