Fig. 84

Watson (1962); Allbrook (1979); Nuttall (1982); Hawking (1986,1993); Hawking & Theischinger (1999); Theischinger & Hawking (2006); Theischinger & Endersby (2009); Hawking et al. (2013). Sole species of the genus in Australia. The diagnostic characters (from Austroagrion ) of the median caudal gill seem to work only for final instar larvae. Less distinctly ringed antennae and a wider labium usually distinguish younger X. erythroneurum larvae from Austroagrion .
