Lathrocordulia garrisoni is a species of dragonfly in the family Austrocorduliidae.[3][4][5] It is also known as the Queensland swiftwing.[6] It is a medium-sized, bronze to black dragonfly without pale markings.[6] It is endemic to north-eastern Australia, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.[6]

Etymology

The genus name Lathrocordulia combines the Greek λαθραῖος (lathraios, "hidden", "secret" or "furtive") with Cordulia, a genus name derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club" or "cudgel"). The name may refer to the uncertain or obscure relationship of the genus to other corduliid dragonflies.[7]

In 1991, Günther Theischinger and Tony Watson named this species garrisoni, an eponym honouring Rosser Garrison, who collected the original specimen.[2][8][9]
