Agriocnemis rubricauda is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a red-rumped wisp.[4] It is a small damselfly; the male has a red end to his tail.[4] It has been recorded from northern Australia [5] where it inhabits boggy seepages and swamps.[6]
Etymology
The species name rubricauda is derived from two Latin words: ruber meaning red; and cauda meaning tail. In 1913, Robin Tillyard named this species after the brilliant red segments at the end of a male abdomen.[2][7]
