Philosinidae is a family of damselflies in the order Odonata. There are at least 2 genera and about 12 described species in Philosinidae, found mainly in southeast Asia. [1] [2] [3]
These two genera belong to the family Philosinidae:
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.
Arabicnemis is a monotypic genus of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae containing the single species Arabicnemis caerulea. It is known commonly as the powder blue damselfly. It is endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, where it occurs in Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
Idomacromia is a genus of dragonflies in the family Synthemistidae, which is earlier treated as a subfamily of Corduliidae. According to World Odonata List, this genera is best considered incertae sedis.
Metacnemis is a genus of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It contains one species: Metacnemis valida
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.
Sciotropis is a genus of damselflies. There are at least two described species in Sciotropis.
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.
Argiolestinae is a subfamily of damselflies. They belong to the flatwing damselfly family, Argiolestidae. Like their relatives but unlike damselflies of other families, they usually spread their hindwings horizontally when resting. It is the largest subfamily in Argiolestidae, making up almost three-quarters of the family's species, found primarily in Australia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia.
Cordulegastroidea is a superfamily of dragonflies that contains three families.
Thaumatoneuridae is a family of damselflies in the order Odonata. There are at least three genera and about five described species in Thaumatoneuridae.
Rhinagrion is a genus of damselflies in the family Philosinidae. There are about 10 described species in Rhinagrion, found mainly in southeast Asia.
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.
Sinocnemis is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly order Odonata. There are at least three described species in Sinocnemis.
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.
Priscagrion is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly order Odonata. There are at least two described species in Priscagrion.
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.
