Austropetalia annaliese is a species of dragonfly of the family Austropetaliidae, known as the northern redspot.[3] It is endemic to mountain areas of north-eastern New South Wales, Australia, where sphagnum moss is abundant. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with brown and yellow markings, the female being similar to both Austropetalia patricia and Austropetalia tonyana.[2]
Etymology
The genus name Austropetalia combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Petalia, a genus name derived from Greek πέταλον (petalon, “petal”).[4]
In 2013, Günther Theischinger named this species annaliese, an eponym honouring his granddaughter, Annaliese.[2][5][6]
