Eurysticta reevesi is a species of damselfly in the family Isostictidae, commonly known as a Queensland pin. It has only been recorded from Central Queensland, Australia, where it inhabits pools in rivers. It is a small to medium-sized damselfly, pale brown in colour with a dark band across its body.
Etymology The genus name Eurysticta is derived from the Greek εὐρύς (eurys, "wide" or "broad") and στικτός (stiktos, "spotted" or "marked"). The suffix -sticta is commonly used in names of taxa within the subfamily Isostictinae.
In 2001, Günther Theischinger named this species reevesi, an eponym honouring Deniss Reeves (1933–2017), foundation president of the Australian Dragonfly Society, who first drew attention to the existence of a species of Eurysticta in Queensland.
