Neosticta canescens

Neosticta canescens is a species of damselfly in the family Isostictidae,[3] commonly known as a southern pinfly.[4] It can be found in eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams.[5]

Neosticta canescens is a medium-sized damselfly, dull brown to black in colour with pale markings.[6]

Etymology

The genus name Neosticta is derived from the Greek νέος (neos, "new") and στικτός (stiktos, "spotted" or "marked"). The suffix -sticta is commonly used in names of taxa within the subfamily Isostictinae.[2][7]

The species name canescens is derived from the Latin canesco ("to become white" or "hoary"), referring to the pruinescence of older individuals.[2][7]
