Chlorolestes conspicuus, the conspicuous malachite is a species of damselfly in the family Synlestidae.

This species is found at rivers and streams in both open and wooded valleys.

[2] Although its range is restricted, this locally common species is not threatened at present.

Males and females are similar; the thorax and abdomen are metallic-green aging to coppery brown.

Both sexes can be distinguished from other malachites by their long (>2.5 mm), uniformly coloured pterostigmata and wing venation.
