Taxonomy

Lathrocordulia was described by Robin Tillyard in 1911. [1] Its family placement has varied in historical classifications, including assignments to Corduliidae and Synthemistidae. [6] It was also treated as incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea. [7] More recent classifications now place it in the family Austrocorduliidae. [2] [3]
