Griseargiolestes eboracus | |
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.
