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

*Genus Austrogomphus , Subgenus Pleiogomphus Watson, 1991

Of the four species only A. amphiclitus can confidently be identied on morphology, and it is also the only species found over much of eastern and inland Queensland and New South Wales, whereas the other three species are apparently restricted to north-eastern Queensland ( Theischinger 2000b; Theischinger & Endersby 2009).

*Genus Austrogomphus Selys, 1854

The larvae of the two subgenera Austrogomphus and Pleiogomphus are clearly separable on morphological differences ( Theischinger 2000b; Theischinger & Endersby 2009).
