Heteropodagrion is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly order Zygoptera, family Heteragrionidae. There are five described species in Heteropodagrion. [1]
Liolaemus is a genus of iguanian lizards, containing many species, all of which are endemic to South America.
Megalagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae It contains approximately 26 species, all of which are endemic to Hawaiʻi.
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.
Somatochlora, or the striped emeralds, is a genus of dragonflies in the family Corduliidae with 42 described species found across the Northern Hemisphere.
Cordulegaster is a genus of dragonfly in the family Cordulegastridae. It contains the following species:
Heteragrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Heteragrionidae.
Ophiogomphus, the snaketails, is a genus of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. The species mostly have beautifully marked green club-shaped abdomens, more noticeable in the males.
Progomphus is a genus of medium-sized dragonflies in the family Gomphidae. They are found in the Americas and are largely tropical. They are one of the few Gomphids with coloured wings.
Progomphus tennesseni is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the Dominican Republic. Specimens of this species were first collected by Dr. Oliver Flint of the Smithsonian Institution near a waterfall of a tributary of the Rio Yaqui del Norte, west of Jarabaco. Daigle (1996) recognized this species from a large number of Progomphus collected, who distinguished its differences from a larger number of Progomphus serenus specimens. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss. The species is named after Ken Tennessen, a well-known researcher of New World Odonata.
Protoneura is a genus of damselfly in the family Protoneuridae. It contains the following species:
The Odonatoptera are a superorder of ancient winged insects, placed in the Palaeoptera which probably form a paraphyletic group however. The dragonflies and damselflies are the only living members of this group, which was far more diverse in the late Paleozoic and contained gigantic species, including the griffinflies of the order Protodonata. This lineage dates back at least to the Bashkirian, not quite 320 million years ago.
Telebasis is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. The genus occurs in the Neotropics. Most of the species are red with a few blue species in South America.
Macrothemis is a genus of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae, also known as Sylphs. It contains the following species:
Calopterygoidea is a superfamily of damselflies in the order Odonata.
Heteropodagrion croizati is a species of damselfly in the family Thaumatoneuridae.
Heteropodagrion sanguinipes is a species of damselfly in the family Thaumatoneuridae. It is found in South America.
Heteropodagrion superbum is a species of damselfly in the family Thaumatoneuridae. It is found in Central America and South America.
Bayana labordai is a species of South American mygalomorph spiders in the family Pycnothelidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Bayana. It was first described by F. Pérez-Miles, F. G. Costa & L. Montes de Oca in 2014, and is found in Uruguay and Brazil. Originally placed with the funnel-web trapdoor spiders, it was transferred to the Pycnothelidae in 2020.
Erythrodiplax unimaculata, also known by its common name white-tailed dragonlet is a species from the genus Erythrodiplax.
