In human culture
The genus name Hemicordulia is derived from the Greek ἡμι- (hēmi, "half"), combined with Cordulia, a genus name derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club" or "cudgel"). The name refers to the close relationship of the genus to Cordulia. The species name intermedia is derived from the Latin intermedius ("intermediate" or "between"), referring to the species being regarded as intermediate between Hemicordulia tau and Hemicordulia australiae.
