Archibasis mimetes is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a blue-banded longtail.[4] It is a medium-sized damselfly; the male is bright blue and black.[4] It has been recorded from New Guinea and northern Australia ,[5] where it inhabits streams.[6]
Etymology
The species name mimetes is from a Greek word meaning imitative. Robin Tillyard named this species of damselfly after its close resemblance to Pseudagrion australasiae.[2][7]
