4.1.5.1. ‘
Calopterygoidea
’ group 1 -
Priscagrionidae
.
This group includes only the newly established family
Priscagrionidae
(see below Revisions to the Classification of
Zygoptera
), which was represented by a single taxon in our analysis:
Priscagrion kiautai
. Previously placed tentatively in the superfamily
Calopterygoidea
, it is now recovered as sister to the remaining ‘Calopterygoidea’ + Coenagrionoidea (BS = 100, PP = 1, QS = 0.92/0/0.99). In the molecular analyses of
Dijkstra et al. (2014)
,
Priscagrion
was found to group with
Sinocnemis
and previously called
Incertae Sedis
Group 5 (
Dijkstra et al., 2014
;
Schorr and Paulson, 2019
). Therefore we propose the family,
Priscagrionidae
(see below Revisions to the Classification of
Zygoptera
), which includes two genera,
Priscagrion
and
Sinocnemis
, with two and three species respectively. The genera are restricted to streams in
China
and
Vietnam
, are similar in build and coloration with relatively long legs, and share the apparent apomorphy of a drawn-out internal fold on the genital ligula. Remarkably, both genera were described only in the past two decades and little has been published on their behaviour. Both perch with wings open, with
Sinocnemis
resting on broad leaves (
Kalkman, 2008
) and pictures in (
Zhang, 2019
). No nymphs are known for either genus.
