Rhipidolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Rhipidolestidae.[1] They are native to subtropical Asia from Burma to Japan.[2][3]
It is a distinctive genus characterized by the unique tubercle on the ninth abdominal segment of the male. Many have yellow or reddish legs and they generally rest with their wings open, unlike most other Asian species.[2]
