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.
Ischnura is a genus of damselflies known as blue tails in the family Coenagrionidae. Forktails are distributed worldwide, including various oceanic islands. The males have a forked projection at the tip of the abdomen which gives the group their common name.
Leptobasis is a small genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. They are commonly known as swampdamsels. The genus is neotropical and one species, L. melinogaster, has been recorded in Texas. They are slender and the females have very long ovipositors.
Neoneura is a genus of damselfly in the threadtail family Protoneuridae. They are found in the Neotropics, from Cuba and Texas to Argentina.
The Protoneuridae are a family of damselflies. Most species are commonly known as threadtails, while others are commonly known as bambootails.
Acanthagrion is a genus of damselflies. It is the dominant genus of damselfly at ponds and lakes in the Neotropics but A. quadratum is the only one found in North America. They are commonly known as Wedgetails because of the raised tip of the abdomen.
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.
Euthore is a genus of damselflies in the family Polythoridae. There are about eight described species in Euthore.
Miocora is a genus of damselflies in the family Polythoridae. There are at least two described species in Miocora.
Chalcopteryx is a genus of damselflies in the family Polythoridae. There are about five described species in Chalcopteryx.
Anomisma is a genus of damselflies in the family Pseudostigmatidae. There is at least one described species in Anomisma, A. abnorme.
Pseudostigma is a genus of damselflies in the family Pseudostigmatidae. There are at least two described species in Pseudostigma.
Neoerythromma cultellatum, the Caribbean yellowface, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in the Caribbean, Central America, North America, and South America.
Zoniagrion exclamationis, the exclamation damsel, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, and is the only species in the genus Zoniagrion.
Nannothemis, the Elfin Skimmer, is a genus in the dragonfly family Libellulidae containing one species, N. bella. It is native to the eastern United States and Canada, and is the smallest dragonfly in North America. Males are powdery blue, while females are black and yellow, resembling a wasp.
Apanisagrion lais, the black-and-white damsel, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, and is the only species in the genus Apanisagrion.
Gomphurus is a genus of clubtails in the family of dragonflies known as Gomphidae. There are about 13 described species in Gomphurus.
Hylogomphus is a genus of clubtails in the family of dragonflies known as Gomphidae. There are about six described species in Hylogomphus.
Pseudolestidae is a family of damselflies in the order Odonata. There is at least one genus, Pseudolestes, in Pseudolestidae.
