Lestoidea brevicauda is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Lestoideidae,[3] commonly known as a short-tipped bluestreak.[4] It is endemic to north-east Queensland, where it inhabits streams in rainforest.[5]
Lestoidea brevicauda is a medium-sized to large damselfly, dark coloured with dull orange to greenish markings.[4]
Etymology
The species name brevicauda is derived from two Latin words: brevis meaning short; and cauda meaning tail. In 1996 Theischinger named this species with regard to the short appendages at the tip of the male abdomen.[2][6]
