Austroargiolestes calcaris | |
Austroargiolestes calcaris is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, [3] commonly known as a powdered flatwing. [4] It is endemic to south-eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams, deep pools and bogs, generally in mountainous areas. [5]
Austroargiolestes calcaris is a medium-sized to large, black and pale yellow damselfly, strongly pruinescent when mature. [4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae it rests with its wings outspread. [6]
Austroargiolestes calcaris appears similar to Austroargiolestes isabellae, which is found in the Sydney Basin.
