Biology:Amphipteryx
From HandWiki
Amphipteryx is a genus of damselflies, the only extant genus in the family Amphipterygidae.[1][2] It is limited to Mesoamerica from Mexico to Honduras and Guatemala.[2]
Most damselflies in this family live in tropical rainforests and cloud forests. They rest on vegetation hanging over seeps and streams. The larvae live in gravel and leaf litter.[2]
There are five species in this family:[2]
- Amphipteryx agrioides Selys, 1853 – Montane Relict Damsel[3]
- Amphipteryx chiapensis González, 2010
- Amphipteryx jaroli Jocque & Argueta, 2014
- Amphipteryx longicaudata González, 1991
- Amphipteryx meridionalis González, 2010
- Amphipteryx nataliae González, 2010
Taxonomic authority
Some modern sources attribute the family Amphipterygidae to Tillyard, 1917,[4][5] while others attribute it to Selys, 1853, based on Selys's establishment of the "legion Amphipteryx".[6][1]
