Choristhemis is a genus of small dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae [2] found in eastern Australia. [3] They are small to medium-sized slender dragonflies with dark colouring and light markings and a relatively weak flight. [4]
The genus includes two species: [5]
Austrogomphus is a genus of dragonflies in the family Gomphidae, endemic to Australia. Species of Austrogomphus are tiny to medium-sized dragonflies, black in colour with yellowish markings. They are commonly known as hunters.
Austrosynthemis is a monotypic genus of dragonfly in the family Synthemistidae. Its single species, Austrosynthemis cyanitincta, more commonly known as the turquoise tigertail, is found in south-western Australia, where it inhabits streams.
Choristhemis olivei, more commonly known as delicate tigertail, is a species of Odonata spanning from the family Synthemistidae and the genus Choristhemis. This species originates from north-eastern Queensland, Australia, and some scientists speculate that this species are endemic to Mount Lewis. Specimens of the Choristhemis olivei were first discovered in 1908 by R. J. Tillyard when two males of this species were found in Australia and documented in 1909. In 1999, one additional male was collected and documented by Günther Theischinger. The species is also noted in the Zoological Society of London. More recently, two scientists discovered a multitude of Choristhemis olivei on Thornton Peak, located on Cape Tribulation. One of these scientists took a sample of the larvae found on Thornton Peak for further research.
Austroargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the subfamily Argiolestinae of the family Megapodagrionidae. They are commonly known as Flatwings; unlike many other damselflies, at rest their wings are spread out flat.
Austrophlebia is a small genus of dragonflies in the family Telephlebiidae. Species of this dragonfly are very large with strong yellow markings on the thorax. They are endemic to eastern Australia.
Eusynthemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae. They are commonly known as tigertails. Species of this genus are found mostly in Australia with one species, Eusynthemis frontalis, found in the Solomon Islands.
Tonyosynthemis is a genus of slender black and yellow dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae. It is endemic to eastern Australia.
Synthemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae. Species of Synthemis are medium-sized, slender, black and yellow dragonflies.
Lestoidea is a genus of damselflies in the family Lestoideidae, commonly known as bluestreaks. Its species are endemic to north-east Queensland, Australia, where they inhabit rainforest streams.
Austropetalia is a genus of dragonflies in the family Austropetaliidae, endemic to south-eastern Australia. Species of Austropetalia are medium-sized to large dragonflies with brown and yellow markings.
Synthemis tasmanica is a species of dragonfly in the family Synthemistidae, known as the Tasmanian swamp tigertail. It is found in Tasmania, Australia, where it inhabits seepages and bogs. It is a slender, medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings.

Archaeosynthemis is a genus of dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae. Species of Archaeosynthemis are found across southern Australia. They are medium-sized dragonflies with black and yellow markings.
Archaeosynthemis spiniger is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, known as the spiny tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings. It inhabits streams and rivers in south-western Australia.
Archaeosynthemis occidentalis is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, known as the western brown tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with reddish-brown and yellow markings. It is endemic to south-western Australia where it inhabits boggy creeks and swamps.
Archaeosynthemis orientalis is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, commonly known as the eastern brown tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with reddish-brown and yellow markings. It inhabits boggy creeks and swamps in eastern Australia
Eusynthemis aurolineata is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, known as the variable tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings. It inhabits mountain swamps and streams in eastern Australia
Eusynthemis nigra is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, known as the black tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings. It inhabits streams in eastern Australia
