Telephlebia tryoni

Telephlebia tryoni is a species of dragonfly in the family Aeshnidae,[3] known as the coastal evening darner.[4] It is a medium to large, dark chestnut brown dragonfly with dark markings on the leading edge and base of its wings.[5] It is endemic to eastern Australia,[4] where it has been found along streams in rainforests and open areas,[6] and flies at dusk.[5]

Etymology

The genus name Telephlebia is derived from the Greek τῆλε (tēle, "at a distance") and φλέψ (phleps, "vein"), referring to the unusually elongated vein near the leading edge of the wing.[7]

In 1917, Tillyard named this species tryoni, an eponym honouring Henry Tryon (1856-1943), Government Entomologist of Queensland.[2][8][9][10]
