Archibasis mimetes is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae,[4] commonly known as a blue-banded longtail.[5] It is a medium-sized damselfly; the male is bright blue and black.[5] It has been recorded from New Guinea and northern Australia,[6] where it inhabits streams.[7]

Etymology

The genus name Archibasis is derived from the Greek ἀρχή (archē, "beginning" or "origin") and βάσις (basis, "base"), referring to the distinctly narrowed base of the wings.[8]

The species name mimetes is derived from the Greek μιμητής (mimētēs, "imitator"). Robin Tillyard named this species of damselfly for its close resemblance to Pseudagrion australasiae.[2][9]
