Etymology

edit

The genus name Eusynthemis combines the Greek εὖ (eu, "well") with Synthemis, an existing genus of dragonflies, referring to a more developed form compared with other members of Synthemis.[8]

In 1977, Günther Theischinger named this species deniseae, an eponym honouring his daughter Denise.[2][9][10]
