Austrocordulia leonardi is a species of dragonfly in the family Austrocorduliidae.[3][4] It is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN.[1] Commonly known as the Sydney hawk,[5][6] it is a medium-sized black and yellow dragonfly endemic to the Sydney Basin in New South Wales, Australia.[7] It inhabits rivers and dams.[8]
Austrocordulia leonardi is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Etymology
[edit]The genus name Austrocordulia combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Cordulia, a genus name derived from Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, “club” or “cudgel”), alluding to the clubbed shape of the abdomen in males.[9]
In 1973, Günther Theischinger named this species leonardi, an eponym honouring his friend Leonard Müller for assistance provided during his studies.[2][10][11]
