Protolestes is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly order Odonata. There are about eight described species in Protolestes.[1][2][3][4]
As a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013, the genus Protolestes is considered "incertae sedis", without an assigned family but within the superfamily Calopterygoidea.[2][4]
