Biology:Hesperocordulia

From HandWiki

Hesperocordulia is a genus of dragonflies in the family Austrocorduliidae,[1][2] endemic to south-western Australia.[3] It is monotypic, containing a single species, Hesperocordulia berthoudi.[2][4]

Hesperocordulia berthoudi, known as the orange streamcruiser, is a medium-sized orange, red and black dragonfly with clear wings and very long legs.[5] It inhabits streams, rivers and pools,[6] and its conservation status is assessed as Near Threatened.[7]

Taxonomy

Hesperocordulia was described by Robin Tillyard in 1911 as part of the corduliid group.[8] It has subsequently been assigned to several different families in historical classifications.[9] Phylogenetic studies have since clarified its relationships, and it is now placed in the family Austrocorduliidae.[2][10]
