Etymology
editThe 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 1999, Günther Theischinger named this species netta, an eponym honouring Annette (Netta) Smith, who collected original specimens of the species.[2][9][10]
