Larva not identifiable/?available.

*Genus Pseudocordulia Tillyard, 1909

Watson (1982), Theischinger & Watson (1984), Theischinger (2001a, 2010), Theischinger & Hawking (2006), Theischinger &Endersby (2009), Hawking et al. (2013),all as Pseudocordulia sp. The adults of the two Pseudocordulia species are extremely similar, and apparently the two species usually coexist ( Theischinger & Watson 1978). Specific identification will probably be difficult even when larvae associated with adults of both species become available.
