Ictinogomphus australis, known as the Australian tiger, is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae.[3] It is found near rivers, lagoons, lakes and ponds. They are large dragonflies (wingspan 100mm, length 70mm) with eyes widely spaced on top of the head. They have clear wings and are yellow and black in colour. Males are identified from females by two curved flaps below segment eight of the abdomen. They are found in an arc ranging from about Broome, Western Australia along the north of the continent to Point Hicks on the south-east corner.[4] The taxon has been assessed for the IUCN Red List as being of least concern.
