Aciagrion fragilis is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a blue slim.[4] It is a small, slender damselfly, the male is blue and black.[4] It has been recorded from northern Australia , New Guinea and the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia,[5] where it inhabits still waters and swamps.[6]
Etymology
The species name fragilis is a Latin word meaning fragile, or easily broken. In 1906, Robin Tillyard named this species probably in contrast to other members of the genus Ischnura, where it had been provisionally placed.[7][8]
