Paraphlebia

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][2]

These four species belong to the genus Paraphlebia:

gollark: If you go around buying something because it's "new" you're a bit of an apioform.
gollark: Does it *matter*? "New" doesn't exactly mean much.
gollark: "THE KNOWLEDGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF UNLEASHING INDESCRIBABLE HORRORS THAT SHATTER YOUR PSYCHE AND SET YOUR MIND ADRIFT IN THE UNKNOWABLY INFINITE COSMOS.", sort of thing?
gollark: And make it large?
gollark: So, how do you plan to move it all to the front?
