Megapodagrionidae

Megapodagrionidae is a small family of damselflies in the superfamily Megapodagrionoidea, found in tropical Central and South America. Its members are commonly known as flatwings because they typically rest with their wings spread horizontally, unlike most damselflies.

The family formerly included numerous genera from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Molecular studies showed that these groups were not closely related, and many have since been transferred to newly recognised families, leaving Megapodagrionidae restricted to three genera.
