Griseargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. [2] They are medium-sized, black and green metallic damselflies with pale markings, endemic to eastern Australia. [3]
The genus Griseargiolestes includes the following species: [4]
Argiolestinae is a subfamily of damselflies. They belong to the flatwing damselfly family, Argiolestidae. Like their relatives but unlike damselflies of other families, they usually spread their hindwings horizontally when resting. It is the largest subfamily in Argiolestidae, making up almost three-quarters of the family's species, found primarily in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.
Griseargiolestes albescens is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae. It is commonly known as a coastal flatwing.
Austroargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. They are commonly known as Flatwings; unlike many other damselflies, at rest their wings are spread out flat.
Lestoidea is a genus of damselflies in the family Lestoideidae, commonly known as bluestreaks. Its species are endemic to north-east Queensland, Australia, where they inhabit rainforest streams.
Austrocnemis is a genus of damselflies belonging to the family Coenagrionidae. Species of Austrocnemis are tiny, bronze-black damselflies with long legs. They occur in New Guinea and Australia.
Oristicta filicicola is a species of damselfly belonging to the family Isostictidae. Until 2017 it was the only species of the genus Oristicta. Commonly known as a slender wiretail, it is a slender and dull-coloured damselfly of medium-size. It is endemic to north-eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams in rainforests.
Oristicta is a genus of damselflies belonging to the family Isostictidae. It is endemic to north-eastern Australia. Species of Orosticta are slender, medium-sized damselflies with a dull colouring.
Neosticta is a genus of damselflies belonging to the family Isostictidae. It is endemic to eastern Australia. Species of Neosticta are medium-sized damselflies, with a dull brown or black colouring and pale markings.
Archiargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. Species of Archiargiolestes are small, black metallic damselflies with pale markings, endemic to south-western Australia, where they inhabit swampy areas.
Miniargiolestes is a monotypic genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. The single species of this genus, Miniargiolestes minimus, commonly known as a stream flatwing, is a small damselfly, metallic black to green in colour with white markings. It is endemic to south-western Australia, where it inhabits streams.
Archiargiolestes pusillus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a little flatwing. It is endemic to south-western Australia, where it inhabits streams, bogs and swamps.
Austroargiolestes alpinus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a New England flatwing. It is endemic to north-eastern New South Wales, where it inhabits streams and bogs.
Austroargiolestes chrysoides is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a golden flatwing. It is endemic to south-eastern Queensland, where it inhabits streams in rainforest.
Austroargiolestes aureus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a tropical flatwing. It is endemic to north-eastern Queensland, where it inhabits streams in rainforest.
Griseargiolestes bucki is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a turquoise flatwing. It is endemic to the Barrington Tops area of New South Wales, where it inhabits streams, bogs and seepages.
Griseargiolestes griseus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a grey flatwing. It is endemic to south-eastern New South Wales, where it inhabits bogs and seepages near small streams.
Griseargiolestes metallicus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a metallic flatwing. It has only been recorded from rainforests in the vicinity of Tully Gorge National Park in northern Queensland, where it inhabits streams.
Griseargiolestes eboracus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a grey-chested flatwing. It is endemic to eastern Australia, where it inhabits bogs.
Griseargiolestes fontanus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a springs flatwing. It is endemic to south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales, where it inhabits streams near their springs.
Griseargiolestes intermedius is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as an alpine flatwing. It is endemic to alpine areas of Victoria and New South Wales, where it inhabits bogs and seepages.
