Biology:Philosinidae

From HandWiki

Philosinidae is a family of damselflies .[1] The family comprises two genera found mainly in Southeast Asia.[2][3]

Taxonomic history

The lineage was historically included within Megapodagrionidae. In his revision of that family, Janis Rácenis (1959) recognised Philosininae as one of five subfamilies within Megapodagrionidae.[4]

Subsequent molecular phylogenetic studies supported recognition of the lineage as a distinct family within Zygoptera, and Philosininae was elevated to family rank as Philosinidae.[2]

Genera

The following genera are currently placed in Philosinidae:[1]
