Elattoneura Acuta
''Elattoneura'', the African threadtails, is a genus of damselflies in the family Platycnemididae. They were formerly placed in genus ''Prodasineura'', but form a distinct clade. The adults are smallish and delicately built damselflies, and their males have very wide heads (cf. '' Platycnemis'' and ''Copera''). The adults are typically found in sheltered locations beside or over running water, though a few prefer calmer water with much detritus. There appears to be two groups with differing habitat preferences. Those with pruinose (i.e. frosty grey or white) faces and mostly blue eyes occupy watercourses in open terrain, while those with black or brightly coloured faces are found along forested streams.

Elattoneura Glauca
''Elattoneura glauca'' is a species of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae. It is known also as the common threadtail, the grey threadtail or ''gewone draadstertjie''. It is native to the southern half of the African continent, where it is widespread. It lives in shady areas along rivers and streams. Description This is a smallish damselfly (wingspan of ) which exhibits strong sexual dimorphism. Males have a pale blue thorax with a black lateral stripe. The long, slender abdomen is black, with a while underside, and a pale blue tip. There is a white ring at each joint. The eyes are turquoise. Females and immature individuals are tan, with a narrow whitish band at each segment. Females have a whitish thorax with thick brown stripes. The eyes are pale and striped with brown bands. They are also larger than the males, with a more robust build. The mottled abdomen is less elongate. Females may easily be confused with ''Elattoneura frenulata ''Elattoneura frenulata'' is a spe ...

Elattoneura Leucostigma
''Elattoneura leucostigma'' is a species of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae known commonly as the smoky-winged threadtail. It is endemic to Sri Lanka, where it is known from only one location. It has not been found in any recent surveys. It is known from streams in dense forest habitat, and the area has undergone habitat destruction Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... and pollution of local waterways.

Elattoneura Frenulata
''Elattoneura frenulata'' is a species of damselfly in the family Platycnemididae known commonly as the sooty threadtail or Roetswartdraadstertjie. It is endemic to South Africa. It is a localised endemic of montane areas of the Western Cape, marginally expanding into the western parts of the Eastern Cape. Though it has a restricted distribution, it is locally common. It lives near slow-moving rivers with abundant vegetation. Description This is a small damselfly (length: , wingspan up to ). The black eyes are far apart and it lacks postocular spots. In males, the thorax and abdomen re a sooty black above and blue or grey-white below. The terminal segments are blue-grey.
