Austroaeschna (Pulchaeschna) pulchra Tillyard, 1909 View in CoL

Tillyard (1916a) as A. unicornis ; Fraser (1959) as A. unicornis pulchra; Theischinger (1982, 1993, 2002, 2012); Hawking (1986); Hawking & Theischinger (1999); Theischinger & Hawking (2003, 2006); Theischinger & Endersby (2009).

*Genus Austroaeschna , Subgenus Pulchaeschna Peters & Theischinger, 2007

Identification of all species can be confirmed by distributions. Eungella region and Clarke Range: A. eungella ; Carnarvon Range in southern inland Queensland: A. muelleri ; most of eastern Australia south of Eungella area: A. pulchra (Theischinger 2002, 2012).

*Genus Austroaeschna Selys, 1883

The five subgenera Austroaeschna , Glaciaeschna, Montiaeschna, Occidaeschna, Petersaeschna and Pulchaeschna are clearly separable on morphological differences (Theischinger 2012).
