Griseargiolestes eboracus

provided by wikipedia EN

Griseargiolestes eboracus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a grey-chested flatwing.[4] It is endemic to eastern Australia, where it inhabits bogs.[5]

Griseargiolestes eboracus is a medium-sized damselfly, black-green metallic in colour with yellow markings; adults have pruinescence on the body,[4] but not the tail.[6] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread.[6]

Griseargiolestes eboracus appears similar to Griseargiolestes griseus which is found south of the Hunter River in New South Wales.
