Argia is a genus of damselflies of the family Coenagrionidae and of the subfamily Argiinae. It is a diverse genus which contains about 114 species and many more to be described. It is also the largest genus in Argiinae. They are found in the Western Hemisphere. They are commonly known as dancers. Although the genus name comes from Ancient Greek: ἀργία, romanized: argia, lit. 'laziness', dancers are quite active and alert damselflies. The bluer Argia species may be confused with Enallagma species.
Enallagma is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae commonly known as bluets. The genus consists of the following species:
Coenagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae, commonly called the Eurasian Bluets. Species of Coenagrion are generally medium-sized, brightly coloured damselflies.
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.
The boreal bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.
Enallagma traviatum is a species of small damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is commonly known as the slender bluet. The slender is small about 29–32 mm in length.
Enallagma annexum, the northern bluet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. Enallagma annexum was formerly included with Enallagma cyathigerum.
Enallagma pictum, the scarlet bluet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. They are found from New Brunswick, Canada to Maryland.
Enallagma cardenium, the purple bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in the Caribbean and North America.
Enallagma vernale, the vernal bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma concisum, the cherry bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma laterale, the New England bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma sulcatum, the golden bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma vesperum, the vesper bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
