Hemigomphus heteroclytus is a species of dragonfly of the family Gomphidae,[2] known as the stout vicetail.[3] It is a small, black and yellow dragonfly, endemic to eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams that reduce to trickles in summer.[4][5]
Hemigomphus heteroclytus is similar to Hemigomphus gouldii, the southern vicetail, also found in eastern Australia.[3]
