Philosinidae
Philosinidae is a small family of damselflies in the superfamily Philogangoidea. Members of the family occur mainly in Southeast Asia, where they inhabit forest streams. They are medium-sized to large damselflies with long, narrow wings that are typically held open at rest, a posture shared with several related families formerly included in Megapodagrionidae.
