In human culture
The genus name Griseargiolestes combines the Latin griseus ("grey" or "pearl-grey") with Argiolestes, the name of a related genus. It refers to the pale pruinescence seen in this group. In 1998, Günther Theischinger named this species bucki, an eponym honouring – Klaus Buck (1923-2006) of Wilster, Germany, a prolific photographer of Australian dragonflies.
