Tonyosynthemis is a genus of slender black and yellow dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae.[2] It is endemic to eastern Australia.[3]
Species
The genus contains only two species:[4]
- Tonyosynthemis claviculata (Tillyard, 1909) - clavicle tigertail[3]
- Tonyosynthemis ofarrelli (Theischinger & Watson, 1986) - slender tigertail[3]
Etymology
In 1998, Günther Theischinger named the genus Tonyosynthemis in honour of two friends and fellow odonatologists, the late Tony Watson (1935–1993) and the late A. F. (Tony) O'Farrell (1917–1997). The genus name combines the name "Tony" with the existing genus name Synthemis.[1][5][6]
