There are at least three genera and about five described species in Thaumatoneuridae. Genera These three genera belong to the family Thaumatoneuridae: * '' Paraphlebia'' Selys, 1861 * '' Thaumatoneura'' McLachlan, 1897 * † '' Eodysagrion'' Rust, Petrulevicius & Nel, 2008 References Calopterygoidea Odonata families {{Calopterygoidea-stub ...

	Paraphlebia ''Paraphlebia'' is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly family Thaumatoneuridae. It was formerly in the subfamily Argiolestinae of the family Megapodagrionidae The Megapodagrionidae are a family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-bei ..., but was moved to the family Thaumatoneuridae as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013. The Zoe Waterfall Damsel is the largest and most brightly colored of its species. It has two pair of similar-shaped vertical wings. Species These fifteen species belong to the genus ''Paraphlebia'': * '' Paraphlebia akan'' '' Paraphlebia chaak'' '' Paraphlebia chiarae'' '' Paraphlebia duodecima'' Calvert, 1901 '' Paraphlebia esperanza'' '' Paraphlebia flinti'' '' Paraphlebia hunnal'' * '' Paraphlebia hyalina'' Brauer, 1871 '' Paraphlebia itzamn ...

	Thaumatoneura ''Thaumatoneura inopinata'' is a species of damselfly, sometimes called the cascade damselfly or giant waterfall damsel, and the only member of the genus ''Thaumatoneura''. It is unusual in flying among the falling water and spray from waterfalls in moist tropical or subtropical forests in Costa Rica. Taxonomy ''Thaumatoneura inopinata'' is a highly distinctive species, making up a monotypic genus (''Thaumatoneura'') and subfamily (Thaumatoneurinae). It has been sometimes placed in the flatwing damselfly family Megapodagrionidae, but as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013, the genus ''Thaumatoneura'' is now considered one of two extant genera in the family Thaumatoneuridae. The species was first described in 1897 by the English entomologist Robert McLachlan, but he did not know the origin of the specimen that he had bought as part of an insect collection. It later transpired that the damselfly was from the New World when another specimen was br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Odonata Odonata is an order of flying insects that includes the dragonflies and damselflies. Members of the group first appeared during the Triassic, though members of their total group, Odonatoptera, first appeared in Late Carboniferous. The two common groups are distinguished with dragonflies, placed in the suborder Epiprocta, usually being larger, with eyes together and wings up or out at rest, while damselflies, suborder Zygoptera, are usually smaller with eyes placed apart and wings along body at rest. All Odonata have aquatic larvae called naiads (nymphs), and all of them, larvae and adults, are carnivorous. The adults can land, but rarely walk. Their legs are specialised for catching prey. They are almost entirely insectivorous. Etymology and terminology Fabricius coined the term ''Odonata'' in 1793 from the Ancient Greek ( Ionic form of ) 'tooth'. One hypothesis is that it was because their maxillae are notably toothed. Most insects also have toothed mandibles. The wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
