Notoaeschna geminata is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae,[3] known as the northern riffle darner.[4] It is endemic to eastern Australia,[4] occurring north of the Hunter River, New South Wales, where it inhabits rapid streams.[5]

Notoaeschna geminata is a large, dark brown to black dragonfly with yellow markings.[6] It appears similar to Notoaeschna sagittata, the southern riffle darner, which occurs south of the Hunter River.[4]

Etymology

The genus name Notoaeschna is derived from the Greek νότος (notos, "south" or "the south wind"), combined with -aeschna, a suffix commonly used for dragonflies associated with the Aeshna group. The name refers to a southern representative of that group.[7][8]

The species name geminata is derived from the Latin geminatus ("doubled" or "paired"), referring to abdominal spots divided into two halves.[7][9]
