Nososticta baroalba

Nososticta baroalba is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Platycnemididae,[3] commonly known as a black-winged threadtail.[4] It has only been found in the Northern Territory, where it inhabits streams.[5]

Nososticta baroalba is a small, slender damselfly, that is coloured black with brown markings, and has dark wings.[6]

Etymology

The genus name Nososticta combines the Greek νόσος (nosos, "disease") with στικτός (stiktos, "spotted" or "marked"). The suffix -sticta is commonly used in names of taxa related to Protoneura and the subfamily Isostictinae.[7]

The species name baroalba is named for Baroalba Creek in the Northern Territory, where the original specimens of this species were collected.[2][8]
