Libellulidae

Synonyms: Libellula eusebioi; Libellula minuscula; Platetrum eusebioi

Wikipedia Abstract

The skimmers or perchers and their relatives form the Libellulidae, the largest dragonfly family in the world. It is sometimes considered to contain the Corduliidae as the subfamily Corduliinae and the Macromiidae as the subfamily Macromiinae. Even if these are excluded (as Silsby does), there still remains a family of over 1000 species. With nearly worldwide distribution, these are almost certainly the most often seen of all dragonflies. The libellulids have stout-bodied larvae with the lower lip or labium developed into a mask over the lower part of the face.
