Griseargiolestes griseus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, [3] commonly known as a grey flatwing. [4] It is endemic to south-eastern New South Wales, where it inhabits bogs and seepages near small streams. [5]

Griseargiolestes griseus is a medium-sized damselfly, black-green metallic in colour with pale markings. Adults can be strongly pruinescent on their body and tail. [4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread. [6]
