Griseargiolestes eboracus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,[2] commonly known as a grey-chested flatwing.[3] It is endemic to eastern Australia, where it inhabits bogs.[4]
Griseargiolestes eboracus is a medium-sized damselfly, black-green metallic in colour with yellow markings; adults have pruinescence on the body,[3] but not the tail.[5] Like other members of the Megapodagrionidae family it rests with its wings outspread.[5]
Griseargiolestes eboracus appears similar to Griseargiolestes griseus which is found south of the Hunter River in New South Wales.
