Genera
- Dimeragrion Calvert, 1913
- Heteragrion Selys, 1862
- Heteropodagrion Selys, 1885
- Oxystigma Selys, 1862
Taxonomic history
In a revision of the family Megapodagrionidae, Janis Rácenis (1959) established Heteragrionini as a new tribe for Heteragrion, Podolestes, Neurogrion and Protolestes.[2]
Subsequent molecular phylogenetic studies supported recognition of this lineage as a distinct family within Zygoptera. Heteragrionini was therefore elevated to family rank as Heteragrionidae.[3]
