Biology:Calopterygoidea
Calopterygoidea is a traditionally recognised superfamily of damselflies in the order Odonata.[1][2]
Recent phylogenomic studies indicate that the group is not a monophyletic group, and that the families traditionally included within Calopterygoidea represent several distinct evolutionary lineages.[3]
Taxonomic history
Historically, Calopterygoidea was used for a diverse assemblage of mostly densely-veined damselflies that did not belong to the more clearly defined superfamilies Lestoidea, Platystictoidea or Coenagrionoidea.[2]
The composition of the superfamily has changed substantially following molecular phylogenetic and phylogenomic studies during the early 21st century.[4][2][3]
Phylogenomic studies published in 2021 resulted in the recognition of several new families and the reinstatement of others previously included within broader concepts of Amphipterygidae and Megapodagrionidae.[3]
Phylogeny
Phylogenetic studies indicate that the traditional superfamily Calopterygoidea does not form a monophyletic group.[3]
Phylogenomic analyses recovered the families traditionally included within Calopterygoidea as several distinct evolutionary lineages, with relationships between many groups remaining unresolved.[3]
Because of this uncertainty, the traditional superfamily is retained as a provisional grouping pending further revision of higher-level damselfly classification.[3]
Etymology
The superfamily name Calopterygoidea is derived from the type genus Calopteryx and the zoological suffix -oidea, used for superfamilies.
The genus name Calopteryx is derived from the Greek καλός (kalos, "beautiful") and πτέρυξ (pteryx, "wing"), referring to the broad and often brightly coloured wings of these damselflies.[5]
