the insect family coenagrionidae is placed in the order odonata and the suborder zygoptera .

the zygoptera are the damselflies , which although less known than the dragonflies , are no less common .

more than 1,100 species are in this family , making it the largest damselfly family .

the family coenagrionidae has six subfamilies : agriocnemidinae , argiinae , coenagrioninae , ischnurinae , leptobasinae , and pseudagrioninae .

this family is referred to as the narrow-winged damselflies or the pond damselflies .

the coenagrionidae enjoy a worldwide distribution , and are among the most common of damselfly families .

this family has the smallest of damselfly species .

more than 90 genera of the family coenagrionidae are currently accepted .

for history see comments under calopterygidae . coenagrion and coenagrionidae were coined by kirby 1890 after he inverted established usage with respect to the generic name agrion . earlier literature ( c19 , some early c20 ) may refer to species in coenagrion as ' agrion ' . the generic name agrion , and derivatives , have been abandoned as uninformative . family name frequently rendered ' coenagriidae ' to c 1960 ( due to tillyard ) .
libellulidae and coenagrionidae are the most dominant families among dragonflies and damselflies . the present study deals with the diversity , occurrence and present status of libellulids and coenagrionids within the regional institute of education campus in bhubaneswar , odisha , india ( riec ) . the major objectives of this study are to prepare a preliminary checklist of libellulids and coenagrionids species in the riec and to find out the status and distribution of genera and species in their respective families . this study is also aimed at systematic planning for developing different strategies for conservation of odonates in the campus . during this study a total of 24 species have been recorded out of which 20 species belong to the family libellulidae representing 15 genera and four species belong to the family coenagrionidae representing four genera . the findings of this study are based on the survey which was carried out for a period of four months in 2015 .
the neotropical genus acanthagrion selys ( odonata : coenagrionidae ) is composed of 44 species , of which the females of 31 species are currently known . in this contribution the females of a . aepiolum tennessen and a . minutum leonard are described and that of a . ascendens calvert is redescribed . distribution maps and new records are provided for all three species . finally , a key to females of the . . .

. . . generic recognition of neotropical components within coenagrionidae is difficult due to vague and often inadequate descriptions and lack of illustrations . the identities of several poorly - known taxa , mostly described by selys ( 1876 selys ( , 1877 ) , have recently been analyzed ( de marmels & garrison 2005 ; de marmels 2007 ; von ellenrieder & garrison 2007 von ellenrieder & lozano 2008 ) . here we address the identity of telagrion fulvellum selys , 1876 . . . .
introduction : coenagrionidae is the most diverse and abundant family of damselflies . nymphs live in wide range of freshwater ecosystems . they can be found in small ponds and streams , as well as in large lakes and rivers . the most common they are in still or slow flowing waters , where climb on aquatic plants or submerged pieces of terrestrial vegetation . species , preferring running waters , hold firmly on the stones or any other solid surface . however , all damselfly nymphs can swim by side to side movements of their long body .

justification : this is a very widespread , abundant species with no known or projected threats . the global population of this species is not expected to undergo any significant decline in the near future , and it is assessed as least concern .
from from the east african coast and from the society islands to north of japan . this species has been introduced into the panama canal zone ( koumans 1953 ) .
there is no information on the population trend available for this species . however , given its very wide distribution and the absence of any significant threats , the global population is considered stable .
this is a demersal , amphidromous species that can usually be found on mud , sand or gravel substrates . adults inhabit brackish estuaries and medium to large size rivers . like most species in the genus , individuals require concealment amongst leaf litter , woody debris and submerged bank vegetation of freshwater streams .

this species is occasionally caught in subsistence fisheries ( although not targeted ) , and is rarely caught as an ornamental fish .
there are no major threats for this species . it is known from estuarine and riverine habitats where it may suffer localised declines due to water pollution and fishing activity .
although this is a common , very widespread species , more information about its population size and trend , biology and potential threats facing this species ( even if localised ) is required . no species - specific conservation measures are in place or needed at present . it occurs within several protected areas within its range .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
until recently , this species was included in m . annularis ( weil and knowlton 1994 ) along with m . franksi . consequently , most studies prior to 1994 do not distinguish between the three species , and information on population is difficult to disaggregate for the three taxa .
this species occurs in the caribbean , the gulf of mexico , florida , and the bahamas . may also be present in bermuda , but this requires confirmation .
in several parts of the caribbean . for example , 90 % of the species was lost in the coastal waters off jamaica from 1980 through 1994 ( hughes , 1994 ) . off the coast of eastern puerto rico , declines in cover were recorded at between 40 and 60 % ( hernandez - delgado 2005 ) , at around 40 % off south - eastern pr ( e . weil pers . comm . ) , 40 - 80 % off desecheo island and mona island ( bruckner and bruckner 2006 , a . bruckner pers . comm . ) , and 72 % in st john , us virgin islands , between 1988 and 1999 ( edmunds and elahi 2007 ) . dustan and halas ( 1987 ) observed a 31 % decline in cover of
on carysfort reef ( key largo ) between 1975 and 1982 , with a 21 % decline in colony size .
the age of first maturity of most reef building corals is typically three to eight years ( wallace 1999 ) and therefore we assume that average age of mature individuals is greater than eight years . furthermore , based on average sizes and growth rates , we assume that average generation length is 10 years , unless otherwise stated . total longevity is not known , but likely to be more than ten years . therefore any population decline rates for the red list assessment are measured over at least 30 years .
m . faveolata is found from 1 - 30 m in backreef and fore - reef habitats , and is often the most abundant coral between 10 - 20 m in fore - reef environments .

until recently , this species was included in m . annularis ( weil and knowlton 1994 ) along with m . faveolata . consequently , most studies prior to 1994 do not distinguish between the three species , and information on population is difficult to disaggregate for the three taxa .
this species occurs in the caribbean , the gulf of mexico , florida , the bahamas , and bermuda .
appear to have taken place mainly in the past 10 years . although this coral appears to be more resistant to disease than the other species in the complex , since 2002 in us waters , there has been an accelerating decline in cover ( a . bruckner and e . weil pers . comm . ) .
this is a common species . m . franksi is found from 5 - 50 m , and is often the most abundant coral from 15 - 30 m in fore - reef environments ( weil and knowlton 1994 , szmant et al . 1997 ) .
this species occurs in the caribbean , the gulf of mexico , florida , the bahamas , and bermuda . in brazil , reportedly from cabedelo ( 06°58 ' s to 034°50 ' w ) to north of esprito santo , and the oceanic fernando de noronha archipelago and atol das rocas ( pires et al . 1992 , echeverria et al . 1997 ) . this species is also known from the eastern atlantic .
this species is widely distributed through most reef environments from 0 . 5 - 95 m depth ( goreau and wells 1967 ) , with peak abundance from 10 - 30 m depth ( szmant et al . 1997 ) . colonies have been observed to 113 m depth ( reed 1985 ) . although this coral has a high tolerance for turbid and silty environments , this species is not adapted to eutrophic conditions ( tomascik and sander 1987 ) .

m . annularis ( weil and knowlton 1994 ) has recently been split into three species including m . faveolata and m . franksi . consequently , most studies prior to 1994 do not distinguish between the three species , and information on population is difficult to disaggregate for the three taxa .
this species occurs in the caribbean , gulf of mexico , florida , the bahamas , and bermuda .

this is a common species . m . annularis is found from 0 . 5 - 82 m ( reed 1985 ) , and is often the most abundant coral from 1 - 10 m , especially in semi - protected reef environments ; it is frequently a dominant species of lagoons and upper reef slopes .
