Pseudagrion decorum,[2][1] elegant sprite or three striped blue dart,[3][4] is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in many tropical Asian countries.[1]

It breeds in slow flowing marshy streams and reservoirs. It is also found in wadis, springs and oases in desert and semi-desert landscapes in the Arabian Peninsula.[1] Commonly seen along shoreline or on emergent vegetation. It is essentially an insect of the plains; but seen from montane areas during migration.[5][6][3][4]
