In human culture
The genus name Eusynthemis combines the Greek εὖ (eu, "well") with Synthemis, an existing genus of dragonflies, referring to a more developed form compared with other members of Synthemis. The species name guttata is derived from the Latin gutta ("spot" or "mark"), referring to the yellow spots on the abdomen.
