*Genus Lathrocordulia Tillyard, 1911

The significant disjunction between the ranges of L. metallica (south-western Australia) and A. garrisoni (tropical Queensland) should be sufficient to establish or support confident identification of the two species once the larva of L. garrisoni is discovered ( Theischinger 2001a; Theischinger & Endersby 2009).
