In human culture
The genus name Austrogomphus combines the prefix austro- (from Latin auster, meaning “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Gomphus, a genus name derived from Greek γόμφος (gomphos, “peg” or “nail”), alluding to the clubbed shape of the abdomen in males. In 1999, Theischinger named this species mouldsorum, an eponym honouring the collectors Max Moulds and Barbara J. Moulds.
