Lestes umbrinus[2][1] is a damselfly species in the family Lestidae. It is commonly known as the brown spreadwing.[3][4] It is known from India, Myanmar and China.[1]

Laidlaw and Fraser considered that this can be a synonym of L. concinna.[5] M.A. Lieftinck (1934) synonymised these two species and after that these two species were considered synonyms until 1960; he himself restored the status of these as two different species (Lieftinck 1960).[1]

It likely to be breed in well vegetated ponds and similar habitats. Commonly found in grasslands, scrub and around water bodies, mostly in dry areas.[5][6][3][4]
