Protoneuridae

picture info	Protoneuridae The Protoneuridae are a family of damselflies. Most species are commonly known as threadtails, while others are commonly known as bambootails. Characteristics These are usually small-sized damselflies and their wings are narrow and mostly transparent, with simple venation. The males tend to be colourful and many have a red, orange, yellow or blue thorax and a black abdomen. Others have a black thorax and brightly coloured abdomen and others are entirely dark. Their usual habitats are the verges of rivers and streams and the margins of large lakes. Update Now Pseudostigmatidae and New World Protoneuridae are sunk in Coenagrionidae and Old World Protoneuridae in Platycnemididae. Genera The family contains the following genera : '' Amazoneura'' Machado, 2004 ''Arabineura'' Schneider and Dumont, 1995 '' Caconeura'' Kirby, 1890 '' Chlorocnemis'' Selys, 1863 '' Drepanoneura'' von Ellenrieder & Garrison, 2008 ''Disparoneura'' Selys, 1860 ''Elattoneura'' Cowley, 1935 ...

	Prodasineura Croconota ''Prodasineura'', the Asian threadtails, is a genus of damselflies in the family Protoneuridae. All the Afrotropical species formerly in this genus are now placed in ''Elattoneura'', the African threadtails. Dijkstra et al. (2014) moved the genus (and related ''Elattoneura'') from Protoneuridae to Platycnemididae based on molecular phylogenetic Molecular phylogenetics () is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. From these analyses, it is possible to ... research. Description These are delicately built damselflies, with very wide heads. The males have starkly contrasting colours, typically a black body that is striped in blue, red or yellow. The colour pattern on the male's synthorax (which carries the wings) and tip of his abdomen, in combination with the shape of the four terminal appendages (the cerci and paraprocts, or male claspers ...

picture info	Damselfly Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica. All damselflies are predatory insects; both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but the ...

	Neoneura ''Neoneura'' is a genus of damselfly in the threadtail family Protoneuridae. They are found in the Neotropics, from Cuba and Texas to Argentina. Characteristics Though part of the threadtail family, the abdomen of neoneurans, in contrast to that of protoneurans, is no more slender than that of pond damselflies. Males are mostly brightly coloured with red, orange, yellow and blue predominating, but females are less showy. The females do not bend their relatively short abdomens when laying eggs as do protoneurans. Pairs of these damselfly can be seen in tandem over quiet waters at the edges of lakes. The eggs are laid among floating wood chippings or on emergent plant stems, the male remaining in tandem with the female while ovipositing The ovipositor is a tube-like organ used by some animals, especially insects, for the laying of eggs. In insects, an ovipositor consists of a maximum of three pairs of appendages. The details and morphology of the ovipositor vary, but typic ...
