Philogeniidae
Philogeniidae is a small family of damselflies in the superfamily Polythoroidea, found in Central and South America. Members of the family are typically associated with forest streams and are unusual among damselflies in resting with their wings held open, giving them a superficial resemblance to small dragonflies.
The family contains two genera, Philogenia and Archaeopodagrion.
