Biology:Austropetaliidae
Austropetaliidae is a small family of dragonflies occurring in Chile, Argentina and Australia.[1][2] Members of Austropetaliidae can be medium-sized to large dragonflies.[2]
Genera
The family includes the following genera:[3]
- Archipetalia Tillyard, 1917
- Austropetalia Tillyard, 1916
- Hypopetalia McLachlan, 1870
- Phyllopetalia Selys, 1858
Taxonomy
This group was initially created for some archaic members of the family Neopetaliidae and was promoted to family rank in 1994.[1][4]
Bechly (1996) placed the genus Archipetalia in its own family, Archipetaliidae. However, this arrangement has not been widely followed, and later authors have kept Archipetalia within Austropetaliidae.[5]
Etymology
The family name Austropetaliidae is derived from the type genus Austropetalia, with the standard zoological suffix -idae used for animal families. The genus name Austropetalia combines austro- (from Latin auster, “south wind”, hence “southern”) with Petalia, a genus name derived from Greek πέταλον (petalon, “petal”).[6]
