Austroargiolestes christine is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a milky flatwing.[4] It is endemic to mountain areas of northern New South Wales, where it inhabits streams and boggy areas.[5]
Austroargiolestes christine is a medium-sized to large, black and pale yellow damselfly, with pruinescence on adult bodies .[4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread.[6]
Austroargiolestes christine appears similar to Austroargiolestes isabellae, which is found in the Sydney district.
