Perilestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Perilestidae.[2][3] There are nine species described in the genus Perilestes.[4][5]

Description

Species of Perilestes are slender forest damselflies with very long, narrow abdomens and comparatively short wings.[1][6] Their twig-like appearance has led to the common names "shortwings" and "twigtails" used for members of the family Perilestidae.[6]

Distribution and habitat

Species of Perilestes occur in the tropical regions of the Americas, where they inhabit shaded forests and forest streams.[6][7]
