- Lathrocordulia garrisoni Theischinger & Watson, 1991 – Queensland swiftwing
- Lathrocordulia metallica Tillyard, 1911 – Western swiftwing
Taxonomy
[edit]Recent taxonomic research could not assign the genus Lathrocordulia to any family and it was placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.[5]
Prior to this, Lathrocordulia had been considered to be part of one of several families: Austrocorduliidae, Synthemistidae or Corduliidae.[6]
