Austrogomphus (Austrogomphus) pusillus Sjöstedt, 1917

Theischinger & Hawking (2006); Theischinger & Endersby (2009).

*Genus Austrogomphus , Subgenus Austrogomphus Selys, 1854

The larvae of two species, A. angelorum , probably restricted, if still surviving, to the mature Murray River, and A. mouldsorum , a large species possibly endemic to the Kimberley, are still undescribed and assumed to be recognisable when found. Other than that a single species and four twin groups can confidently be separated based on morphology. Three of the twin groups are identifiable to the species by allopatry. Only A. guerini and A. ochraceus cannot be distinguished at present. Of these two only A. guerini is found in South Australia and Tasmania ( Theischinger 2000b; Theischinger & Endersby 2009).
