Nannophlebia mudginberri is a species of dragonfly of the family Libellulidae,[3][4] known as the Top End archtail.[5] It inhabits streams of northern Australia.[6] It is a small dragonfly with black and yellow markings and a slender body.[5]

Etymology

The genus name Nannophlebia is derived from the Greek νάννος (nannos, "dwarf") and φλέψ (phleps, "vein"). The name combines elements used in the existing genera Nannophya and Neophlebia.[7]

The species name mudginberri is named for Mudginberri Station in the Northern Territory, where the original specimens of the species were collected.[2][8]
