Identification. This species can be distinguished from other Lestes species in Argentina in having a minute spot at the end of each latero ventral carina at the venter of the pterothorax and in having the mesepistemal stripe 0.33 as wide as the mesepistemum. The cercus is straight in lateral view, and its inner margin has only a basal tooth.The paraprocts are as long as the cerci and have a basal inner carina. The internal lobe of penis is half as wide as the second segment, the small anterior portion is grooved anteriorly, and the posterior portion is reniform and bilobated (Muzón 1993: figs 12, 13, 16).
