Diphlebiidae is no longer recognised as a biological family.[1] It was the name given to a small family of damselflies, the azure damselflies, with species in two genera: Diphlebia and Philoganga.[2] Diphlebia is found in Australia [3] and Philoganga is found in Southeast Asia. They are large and thick-bodied damselflies. They rest with their wings spread out. The Diphlebiidae were also known as Philogangidae.
Diphlebiidae is now split:
- The genus Diphlebia is now considered to belong to the family Lestoideidae.[4]
- The genus Philoganga is now considered to belong to the family Philogangidae.[5]
