The Agriocnemidinae are a subfamily of the Coenagrionidae family of damselflies. [1] Damselflies in this subfamily are very small in size. The five genera contain 63 species.
Sprite commonly refers to:
Enallagma cyathigerum is a species found mainly between latitudes 40°N and 72°N; It is widely distributed in the Palearctic, and the Nearctic species Enallagma annexum was at one time considered to be synonymous with it. The species can reach a length of 32 to 35 mm. It is common in many different countries including Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United States of America, and South Korea. Damselflies are an important link between the health of the aquatic ecosystem and its response to climate change.
The insect family Coenagrionidae is placed in the order Odonata and the suborder Zygoptera. The Zygoptera are the damselflies, which although less known than the dragonflies, are no less common. More than 1,300 species are in this family, making it the largest damselfly family. The family Coenagrionidae has six subfamilies: Agriocnemidinae, Argiinae, Coenagrioninae, Ischnurinae, Leptobasinae, and Pseudagrioninae.
The familiar bluet is a damselfly of the family Coenagrionidae, native to much of the United States and southern Canada.
Erythromma najas, the red-eyed damselfly, is a member of the Coenagrionidae family of damselflies.
Azuragrion granti, the Socotra bluet or Grant's bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to Socotra in the Indian Ocean. It is a member of the narrow-winged damselfly family Coenagrionidae with its closest relatives originating in Africa, for example Azuragrion nigridorsum.
Ischnura gemina is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae known by the common name San Francisco forktail. It is endemic to the San Francisco Bay Area in California in the United States. This uncommon insect has a total range of less than 500 square miles in the Bay Area, occurring only in greater San Francisco and parts of San Mateo and Marin Counties. This species is "one of the rarest Odonates in the United States."
Nehalennia speciosa is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in Austria, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, North Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, possibly France, and possibly Kazakhstan. Its natural habitats are swamps, freshwater marshes, and open excavations. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pyrrhosoma elisabethae, the Greek red damselfly, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. The damselfly finds its habitat in rivers. It is found in Albania and Greece. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The scarce blue-tailed damselfly or small bluetail is a member of the damselfly family Coenagrionidae.
Argiinae is a subfamily of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, the pond damselflies. It contains the genus Argia.
The double-striped bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. This species grows to lengths 21–28 mm. Its common name from the peculiar black shoulder stripe, which is divided in two by a thin blue stripe. This is the key identification characteristic; no other damselfly has a shoulder stripe that looks like this one.
The stream bluet is a species of American bluet damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. Its length is 29–37 mm. Many bluet species prefer ponds and lakes; the stream bluet as its name implies is most at home along moving waters. It can be found along small to medium-sized rivers. It is occasionally found at lakes too. In many species of damselflies the males have a blue tip to the abdomen. Enallagma exsulans is one of those less common cases where the female, too, has a blue abdominal tip. Summertime is the best time to look for stream bluets.
Eastern forktail is a member of the damselfly family Coenagrionidae.
The sedge sprite is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.
Coenagrionoidea is a superfamily of closed wing damselflies of the order Odonata found worldwide. It contains 3 different families.
Aciagrion hisopa, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is abundant in many South Asian countries, but populations in Sri Lanka is still in doubt.
Aciagrion approximans, Indian violet dartlet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in east and south of India. The range extends to Thailand, China and Cambodia.
Austrocnemis obscura is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly known as a Kimberley longlegs. It is a tiny damselfly, bronze-black in colour with very long legs. It has only been recorded from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, where it inhabits streams and slow-moving water.
Pseudagrion jedda is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly known as a dusky riverdamsel. It is a large, dull and darkly coloured damselfly, found in northern Australia, where it inhabits streams and lagoons.
