Aciagrion occidentale,[2] green striped slender dartlet,[3][4] is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand.[1]

It is a long slender damselfly with a black spot in blue on the last segment of the abdomen.[5][6][3][4] Flies close to the ground; found in shrub dominated wetlands.[3] In spite of its delicate build, it enjoys migration by rising high in the air and takes advantage of its lightweight in air currents.[5]
