Eurysticta reevesi is a species of damselfly in the family Isostictidae, [2] commonly known as a Queensland pin. [3] It has only been recorded from Central Queensland, Australia, where it inhabits pools in rivers. [4]

Damselfly suborder of insects

Damselflies are insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.

Isostictidae family of insects

Isostictidae is a small family of medium-sized to large damselflies restricted to Australia, New Caledonia, and New Guinea. It contains 12 genera and more than 40 species. Members of this family resemble species in the threadtail family (Protoneuridae).

Central Queensland Region in Queensland, Australia

Central Queensland is an ambiguous geographical division of Queensland that centres on the eastern coast, around the Tropic of Capricorn. Its major regional centre is Rockhampton. The region extends from the Capricorn Coast west to the Central Highlands at Emerald, north to the Mackay Regional Council southern boundary, and south to Gladstone. The region is also known as Capricornia. It is one of Australia's main coal exporting regions.

Eurysticta reevesi is a small to medium-sized damselfly, pale brown in colour with a dark band across its body. [3]
