Members of this family resemble species in the former threadtail family ( Protoneuridae). Diagnosis *Adult: The adults have a length of 15–40 mm. They have two antenodal crossveins, most postnodal crossveins aligned with crossveins behind them, quadrilateral cell almost rectangular, no supplementary intercalary longitudinal veins, and an anal vein fused with wing margin. Their antennae are seven-segmented. *Larva: Larvae have a labial mask, with short flat palps and narrow palpal setae. Premental setae are variable, median lobe is shallowly cleft; caudal gills ...

Damselfly
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies (which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Epiprocta) but are usually 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. Damselflies have existed since the Late Jurassic, 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 their dependence on fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coenagrionoidea
Coenagrionoidea is a superfamily of closed wing damselflies of the order Odonata found worldwide. Families A 2013 phylogenetic analysis suggests that this superfamily contains three families: * Coenagrionidae Kirby, 1890 * Isostictidae Fraser, 1955 * Platycnemididae Yakobson & Bianchi, 1905 The family Pseudostigmatidae and New World Protoneuridae are now incorporated into Coenagrionidae and Old World Protoneuridae is now incorporated into Platycnemididae The Platycnemididae are a Family (biology), family of damselfly, damselflies. They are known commonly as white-legged damselflies. There are over 400 species native to the Old World.Dijkstra, K. D. B., Kalkman, V. J., Dow, R. A., Stokvis, F. R., ....

Oristicta Filicicola
''Oristicta filicicola'' is a species of damselfly belonging to the family Isostictidae. Until 2017 it was the only species of the genus ''Oristicta''. Commonly known as a slender wiretail, it is a slender and dull-coloured damselfly of medium-size. It is endemic to north-eastern Australia, where it inhabits streams in rainforests. Description Body ''Oristicta filicicola'' has olive-green eyes widely spaced on a small head. The synthorax is pale on the lower surface, graduating to a light green on the sides, with dark markings along the sutures. The upper surface is brown, outlined in black on the edges. The dorsal carina (mid-line ridge) is white on a dark background. The abdomen is long and slender, with a steel-like metallic-black on the upper surface, sharply cut off to cream ventral surfaces. At each segment join the paler colour sweeps up forming a narrow ring. On segments 9 and 10, the pale coloration sweeps up towards the rear, to form a dark wedge-shaped pattern on ...
