Austroargiolestes calcaris is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a powdered flatwing.[4] It is endemic to south-eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams, deep pools and bogs, generally in mountainous areas.[5]
Austroargiolestes calcaris is a medium-sized to large, black and pale yellow damselfly, strongly pruinescent when mature.[4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae it rests with its wings outspread.[6]
Austroargiolestes calcaris appears similar to Austroargiolestes isabellae, which is found in the Sydney Basin.
