Coenagrionidae or are a family of damselflies, also known as pond damselfies, 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 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.
Paraphlebia is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly family Thaumatoneuridae. It was formerly in the subfamily Argiolestinae of the family Megapodagrionidae, but was moved to the family Thaumatoneuridae as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013.
The Protoneuridae are a family of damselflies. Most species are commonly known as threadtails, while others are commonly known as bambootails.
The Megapodagrionidae are a family of damselflies, commonly called flatwings for their habit of spreading out the hind wings horizontally when at rest.
Thaumatoneuridae is a family of damselflies in the order Odonata. There are at least three genera and about five described species in Thaumatoneuridae.
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.
Archiargiolestes pusillissimus is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae, commonly known as a tiny flatwing. It is endemic to south-western Australia, where it inhabits streams, bogs and swamps.
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.
Platylestes is a genus of stalk-winged damselflies in the family Lestidae. There are at least five described species in Platylestes.
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.
Hetaerininae is a subfamily of broad-winged damselflies in the family Calopterygidae. There are at least 4 genera and more than 70 described species in Hetaerininae.
Leptocnemis is a genus of narrow-winged damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. There is one described species in Leptocnemis, L. cyanops.
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.
Hypolestidae is a family of damselflies in the order Odonata. There are at least four genera and about six described species in Hypolestidae.
Allocnemidinae is a subfamily of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae. There are 5 genera in Allocnemidinae, found in Africa and Arabia.
Xanthocnemis is a genus of narrow-winged damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. There are at least two described species in Xanthocnemis, found in New Zealand.
