Zephyrogomphus is a genus of dragonflies in the family Gomphidae.[2]
The species are medium-sized and dark brown with dull markings.[3] They are commonly known as hunters. The two species of Zephyrogomphus are found on opposite sides of the Australian continent - in south-western Australia and north-eastern Queensland.
The genus name Zephyrogomphus is derived from the Greek ζέφυρος (zephyros, "west wind"), combined with Gomphus, a genus name derived from the Greek γόμφος (gomphos, "peg" or "nail"). The name refers to the genus being found originally only in south-western Australia.[1][5]
