Austroargiolestes brookhousei is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a Barrington flatwing.[4] It is endemic to northern New South Wales, where it inhabits streams and bogs.[5]
Austroargiolestes brookhousei is a medium-sized to large, black and pale blue damselfly, without pruinescence.[4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread.[6]
Etymology
In 1986, Günther Theischinger and Tony O'Farrell named this species brookhousei, an eponym in acknowledgement of the work of Peter Brookhouse who was responsible for collecting specimens for analysis.[2][7]
