Austrophya

Austrophya is a genus of dragonflies in the family Austrocorduliidae, endemic to north-eastern Australia.

Species
This genus includes the following species:
 * Austrophya mystica Tillyard, 1909 - rainforest mystic
 * Austrophya monteithorum Theischinger 2019 - summit mystic

From 1909 Austrophya used to be a monotypic genus with only one species, Austrophya mystica, until Austrophya monteithorum was described in 2019.

Etymology
The genus name Austrophya, is derived from two words: the prefix Austro-, from a Latin word Australis, meaning southern, could be for purely Australian genera; the suffix -phya, derived from a Greek word meaning stature or growth, refers to existing generic names of dragonflies Neophya and Cordulephya, which are allied to this genus.
