Paraphlebia is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly family Thaumatoneuridae. It was formerly in the subfamily Argiolestinae of the family Megapodagrionidae, but was moved to the family Thaumatoneuridae as a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013.[1]

The Zoe Waterfall Damsel is the largest and most brightly colored of its species. It has two pair of similar-shaped vertical wings.

Species

These fifteen species belong to the genus Paraphlebia:[2][3]
