Argiolestidae is a family of flat-wing damselflies in the order Odonata. There are at least 20 genera and more than 160 described species in Argiolestidae. [2]
The Platycnemididae are a family of damselflies. They are known commonly as white-legged damselflies. There are over 400 species native to the Old World. The family is divided into several subfamilies.
The Megapodagrionidae are a family of damselflies, commonly called flatwings for their habit of spreading out the hind wings horizontally when at rest.
Argiolestinae is a subfamily of damselflies. They belong to the flatwing damselfly family, Argiolestidae. Like their relatives but unlike damselflies of other families, they usually spread their hindwings horizontally when resting. It is the largest subfamily in Argiolestidae, making up almost three-quarters of the family's species, found primarily in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.
Austroargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. They are commonly known as Flatwings; unlike many other damselflies, at rest their wings are spread out flat.
Archiargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. Species of Archiargiolestes are small, black metallic damselflies with pale markings, endemic to south-western Australia, where they inhabit swampy areas.
Griseargiolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. They are medium-sized, black and green metallic damselflies with pale markings, endemic to eastern Australia.
Miniargiolestes is a monotypic genus of damselflies in the family Argiolestidae. The single species of this genus, Miniargiolestes minimus, commonly known as a stream flatwing, is a small damselfly, metallic black to green in colour with white markings. It is endemic to south-western Australia, where it inhabits streams.
Calopterygoidea is a superfamily of damselflies in the order Odonata.
Perilestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Perilestidae. There are about eight described species in Perilestes.
Perissolestes is a genus of damselflies in the family Perilestidae. There are about 12 described species in Perissolestes.
Megalestes is a genus of malachite in the damselfly family Synlestidae. There are at least 20 described species in Megalestes.
Platylestes is a genus of stalk-winged damselflies in the family Lestidae. There are at least five described species in Platylestes.
Platysticta is a genus of shadowdamsel in the damselfly family Platystictidae. There are about nine described species in Platysticta.
Protosticta is a genus of shadowdamsel in the damselfly family Platystictidae. There are more than 50 described species in Protosticta.
Calopteryginae is a subfamily of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are about 17 genera and more than 160 described species in Calopteryginae.
Chlorocypha seydeli is a species of jewel damselfly in the family Chlorocyphidae.
Caliphaea is a genus of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are about five described species in Caliphaea.
Mnais is a genus of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are about 15 described species in Mnais.
Isosticta is a genus of damselflies in the family Isostictidae. There are about six described species in Isosticta.
Heliocypha is a genus of jewel damselflies in the family Chlorocyphidae. There are about nine described species in Heliocypha, found in Indomalaya.
