Austroargiolestes elke is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[3] commonly known as an azure flatwing.[4] It is endemic to the vicinity of Eungella National Park in north-central Queensland, where it inhabits streams in rainforests.[5]

Austroargiolestes elke is a medium-sized to large, black and blue damselfly, with strong pruinescence on adult bodies.[4] Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread.[6]
