4.1.4. Platystictoidea

This superfamily consists entirely of the family Platystictidae and is represented by only one species herein ( Protosticta sanguinostigma ). Platystictidae , composedof 10 generaand> 280 species, isknownfrom dense tropical forests in Asia and the Neotropics. Its monophyly was already established by previous molecular studies ( Bybee et al., 2008; Davis et al., 2011; Dijkstra et al., 2014; Dumont et al., 2010; van Tol and Reijnen, 2009) and is also supported by morphology ( Dijkstra et al., 2014; Garrison et al., 2010; Rehn, 2003). The phylogenetic position of Platystictidae as sister to all other Zygoptera except Lestoidea is recovered here with quite high support (BS = 100, PP = 1, QS = 0.86/0/1), confirming the findings of past efforts focused on Zygoptera ( Bybee et al., 2008; Carle et al., 2008; Dijkstra et al., 2014; Dumont et al., 2010).
