Libelluloidea is a superfamily of dragonflies.
A 2013 phylogenetic analysis suggests that this superfamily contains four families:[1]
Families of disputed validity placed here include Pseudocorduliidae, Gomphomacromiidae and Cordulephyidae.[2][3][4]
The following extinct fossil taxa are also included here:[4][5]
- †Araripelibellulidae Bechly, 1996
- †Araripephlebiidae Bechly, 1998
- †Bolcacorduliidae Gentilini, 2002
- †Eocorduliidae Bechly, 1996
- †Palaeomacromiidae Petrulevicius et al. 1999
- †Valdicorduliidae Bechly, 1996
- †Urolibellulidae Zeiri, Nel, & Garrouste, 2015
This superfamily is one of two extant groups in the large, ancient clade Cavilabiata, in addition to Cordulegastroidea.[6] The oldest known member is Araripelibellula brittanica from the Berriasian of England.[7]
