Etymology
The genus name Indolestes combines the Latin Indus ("India") with Lestes, a genus name derived from the Greek λῃστής (lēstēs, "robber"). Original members of this genus were from India.[7]
The species name obiri is for Obiri Rock in Northern Territory, habitat of this cave-dwelling damselfly.[2][8]
