Etymology The genus name Armagomphus is derived from the Latin arma ("arms", "armour" or "weapons of war"), combined with Gomphus, a genus name derived from the Greek γόμφος (gomphos, "peg" or "nail"), referring to the shape of the male abdomen. The name refers to the claw-like structure at the tip of the larva.
