Etymology
The family name Argiolestidae is derived from the type genus Argiolestes, with the standard zoological suffix -idae used for animal families. The name Argiolestes is possibly formed from argio-, an anagram of agrio- (as in the genus Agrion), combined with Lestes, the name of a related genus.[3]
