Lestes nigriceps Fraser, 1924 was described from a male (later the lectotype) and two non-conspecific females collected in 1922 at Pusa, Bihar State, India, and has never been reported since. In June 2018 a population of L. nigriceps was unexpectedly found in eastern Cambodia, Mondulkiri Province. The Cambodian males, their variation and, for the first time, the true female of L. nigriceps is described.

Last year I reported the rediscovery in Cambodia of Lestes nigriceps Fraser, 1924, described from Pusa, India (Fraser 1924a) but never reported since that time from India (Kosterin 2018). In my paper I presumed non-conspecificity of the male and females of the type series and made critical comments on Fraser's appendage drawing (Fraser 1924a: plate IX: 6) and verbal descriptions (Fraser 1924a; 1933) of this species but did not consider his key for Lestes Leach, 1815 in the 1st volume of "Fauna of British India including Ceylon and Burma. Odonata" (Fraser 1933).
