Griseargiolestes intermedius is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Argiolestidae, [3] commonly known as an alpine flatwing. [4] It is endemic to alpine areas of Victoria and New South Wales, where it inhabits bogs and seepages. [5]
Griseargiolestes intermedius is a medium-sized damselfly, black-green metallic in colour with pale markings; adults are slightly pruinescent. [4] Like other members of the family Argiolestidae, it rests with its wings outspread. [6]
Griseargiolestes intermedius appears similar to Griseargiolestes griseus , which occurs further north into New South Wales.
