TL;DR: Three new species of Australian Lestidae, Austrolestes aleison, Austrologestes minjerriba, and Indolestes obiri, are described, and the adults of the 14 known species of Australia lestids are keyed.
Abstract: Three new species of Australian Lestidae, Austrolestes aleison, Austrolestes minjerriba, and Indolestes obiri, are described, and the adults of the 14 known species of Australian lestids are keyed. Lectotypes are designated for Lestes psyche Hagen in Selys and Lestes leda Selys. Austrolestes albicauda tindalei Tillyard is newly placed in synonymy with Indolestes alleni (Tillyard).
TL;DR: The holotype of Lestes birmana Selys, 1891 (currently Indoleste birmanus (Selys), housed in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, is examined and depicted for the first time.
Abstract: The holotype of Lestes birmana Selys, 1891 (currently Indolestes birmanus (Selys, 1891)), housed in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova, is examined and depicted for the first time. Its cerci are not attenuated apically, hence this taxon cannot be a subspecies of Indolestes gracilis (Hagen in Selys, 1862).
