Coeliccia is a genus of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae. [1] They are distributed in Asia from India to Japan to Indonesia. [2] It is the largest genus in the family, with around 80 species. [2]
These are the species currently described in Coeliccia: [3] [4] [5] [6]
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 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.
Drepanosticta is a genus of damselfly in the family Platystictidae. Some authors consider some species to be in the genus Ceylonosticta.
Gynacantha is a genus of dragonflies in the family Aeshnidae. The females have two prominent spines under the last abdominal segment. This gives the genus name and the common name two-spined darners; they are also known as duskhawkers.
Hypolestes is a damselfly genus. It makes up the monotypic subfamily Hypolestinae of the flatwing damselfly family Hypolestidae.
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.
Prodasineura, the Asian threadtails, is a genus of damselflies in the family Protoneuridae. All the Afrotropical species formerly in this genus are now placed in Elattoneura, the African threadtails. Dijkstra et al. (2014) moved the genus from Protoneuridae to Platycnemididae based on molecular phylogenetic research.
Indolestes gracilis is a species of damselfly in the family Lestidae. It is known only from Sri Lanka, South India and Cambodia.
Ceriagrion olivaceum is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. it is commonly known as rusty marsh dart. This species can be found in south and southeast Asia.
Protosticta is a genus of shadowdamsel in the damselfly family Platystictidae. There are more than 50 described species in Protosticta.
Asthenocnemis is a genus of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. There are at least two described species in Asthenocnemis.
Indocnemis is a genus of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. There are at least three described species in Indocnemis.
Lieftinckia is a genus of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. There are about seven described species in Lieftinckia.
Paramecocnemis is a genus of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. There are about five described species in Paramecocnemis.
Rhyacocnemis is a genus of white-legged damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. There are at least four described species in Rhyacocnemis.
Devadatta is a genus of damselflies in the family Devadattidae which is a sister-group of the Chlorocyphidae. There are about 13 described species in Devadatta.
Euphaea is a genus of damselflies in the family Euphaeidae. There are more than 30 described species in Euphaea, found mainly in Indomalaya.
Risiophlebia is a genus of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae. It contains three species, all of which are endemic to the Central Highlands of the Mondulkiri Province and some other regions of southern Vietnam.
Heliocypha perforata, also known by its common name common blue jewel, is a species of damselfly from the genus Heliocypha.
