Agriocnemis Thoracalis
''Agriocnemis thoracalis '' is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, There is little known about this species of damselfly. A note in the Australian Faunal Directory says: ''the holotype lacks the last four abdominal segments and the identity of the species is therefore uncertain''. The holotype, a male specimen, is in the NHRM ( Naturhistoriska Rijkmuseet, Sweden). It was collected from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia, during Eric Mjöberg's Swedish scientific expedition to Australia, 1910–1913, and described by Bror Yngve Sjöstedt Bror Yngve Sjöstedt (August 3, 1866, Hjo – 1948) was a Swedish naturalist.

In androchrome forms, the female has same green colors as in the male. Female colour variation is depended on ontogenic colour change associated with sexual development too.
