It has been found near the source of small streams at altitude in the vicinity of Barrington Tops, New South Wales, Australia
Eusynthemis ursula appears similar to Eusynthemis ursa which is also found at altitude in a similar vicinity in 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.
In 1998, Günther Theischinger named this species ursula, an eponym honouring his granddaughter Ursula.
