Lestoideidae
Lestoideidae is a family of damselflies in the superfamily Euphaeoidea. The family contains the genera Diphlebia and Lestoidea, comprising nine described species. Members of Lestoideidae are found in Australia, New Guinea and Southeast Asia.
Members of the family are stream-dwelling damselflies. Although the broad-winged Diphlebia species differ markedly in appearance from the more slender Lestoidea species, modern studies indicate that they share a common ancestry and form a distinct evolutionary lineage.
