Lestoideidae
Introduction The '''Lestoideidae''' are a family of damselflies occurring in South-east Asia, New Guinea and Australia.The family comprises two genera and nine species.
Genera Lestoideidae is an accepted family name and until recently it was considered to be monotypic with only one genus, ''Lestoidea''. However, research over the last twenty years or so has suggested that the genus ''Diphlebia'' is also part of Lestoideidae.The family now includes the following genera:* ''Diphlebia '' * ''Lestoidea'' ''Note:'' It is important to distinguish the genus ''Lestoidea'' from the superfamily Lestoidea. They have the same spelling, but the superfamily is based on the genus ''Lestes''.
