Family Argiolestidae Kalkman & Theischinger, 2013 View in CoL

Argiolestidae were raised to family level by Kalkmann & Theischinger (2013) and include all zygopteran genera in which the gills of the larvae are flat and held in a horizontal plane. The family is divided into two subfamilies based on characters of the penis in the adult male, Argiolestinae and Podolestinae, with the Argiolestinae only found in Australasia and Sulawesi. Podolestinae are represented in New Caledonia by four genera, which are all endemic to the archipelago.
