Griseargiolestes bucki is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as a turquoise flatwing.[4] It is endemic to the Barrington Tops area of New South Wales, where it inhabits streams, bogs and seepages.[5]
G. bucki is a medium-sized damselfly, black-green metallic in colour with pale markings, and slightly pruinescent.[4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae it rests with its wings outspread.[6]
G. bucki appears similar to Griseargiolestes albescens, which is found in coastal areas of north-eastern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland.[4]
