Eusynthemis brevistyla is a species of dragonfly of the family Synthemistidae, known as a small tigertail. It is a medium-sized dragonfly with black and yellow markings. It inhabits streams in south-eastern Australia
Etymology 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.
The species name brevistyla is derived from the Latin brevis ("short") and stilus ("stylus" or "pointed instrument"), referring to the short appendages on the abdomen.
