Families
[edit]A 2013 phylogenetic analysis suggests that this superfamily contains three families:[2]
- Coenagrionidae Kirby, 1890
- Isostictidae Fraser, 1955
- Platycnemididae Yakobson & Bianchi, 1905
The family Pseudostigmatidae and New World Protoneuridae are now incorporated into Coenagrionidae and Old World Protoneuridae is now incorporated into Platycnemididae.[2]
