Oristicta rosendaleorum
Oristicta rosendaleorum is a species of damselfly belonging to the family Isostictidae.[2] It was described by Theischinger and Burwell in 2017. Until 2017 Oristicta filicicola was the only species of the genus Oristicta which has now been widened to include Oristicta rosendaleorum.[1] The common name suggested for the new species is elegant wiretail.[3] DescriptionOristicta rosendaleorum is a slender and dull-coloured damselfly of medium-size with a length around 42mm, and hind-wing about 21mm . Differences when compared to Oristicta filicicola include richer black markings, altered patterns on the synthorax and abdominal segments, and a lack of posterolateral processes/horns on the male pronotum. The anal appendages of the male take a different form also.[1] DistributionAs of 2017, five specimens have been collected from two locations, both within 20 km of Lakeland, Queensland, in north-eastern Australia.[4] References Wikimedia Commons has media related to Oristicta rosendaleorum.
