Biology:Argiocnemis
Argiocnemis is a genus of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.[1] Species of Argiocnemis are generally small to medium-sized damselflies, darkly coloured with pale markings. They occur in Africa, Indian Ocean islands, South-east Asia, New Guinea and Australia.[2][3]
Species
The genus Argiocnemis contains the following species:[4]
- Argiocnemis ensifera Lieftinck, 1932
- Argiocnemis rubescens Selys, 1877 - red-tipped shadefly

Etymology
The genus name Argiocnemis is derived from -cnemis, from the Greek κνημίς (knēmis, "greave" or "legging"), a suffix commonly used in damselfly names, and a prefix Argio- of uncertain origin, possibly from the Greek ἀργία (argia, "idleness" or "leisure") or formed as an anagram of Agrio-, based on the genus Agrion.[5]
