Etymology: Named after Jarrel J. Diagle. Type locality: Napo , Ecuador . Distribution: Bolivia, Colombia ( Meta ), Ecuador, Peru. Female described: No Larva described: No Altitudinal range: 232 m IUCN status: LC—Sandoval et al. (2021) Records in previous references: Bota-Sierra (2014a) Material examined: (1♁) .

Morphological characteristics: head mostly dark brown except for labrum, clypeus, mandibles and two pale blue spots on posterior margin ( Fig. 5H ). Pterothorax dorsally pale blue, laterally yellowish, except a black antehumeral stripe iridescent, mesepimeral black stripe extending from mesinfraepisternum to mesopleural fossa and a black dot on second thoracic spiracle ( Fig. 8D–E ); pectum yellowish, except for two black subtriangular spots on metepimeron and metapostepimeron ( Fig. 8E–F ). Cerci with an acute basal tooth, projected distally at 45°; edge of medial portion convex, with a row of denticles; primary curvature type III, apex excavated ( Fig. 11K ); secondary curvature type II. Paraprocts well-developed, almost 2/3 of cerci length, apices excavated ( Fig. 11L ). Remarks: This rare species is known from a few localities from southern Bolivia to the eastern foothills of the Andes in the Colombian Orinoco region ( Fig. 18 ) ( Tennessen 1997 ; Bota-Sierra et al. 2014a ). Regarding Colombian Lestes , this species resembles L. forficula by the morphology of the caudal appendages, however, L. jerrelli has cerci and paraproct tips concave.
