The Odonatoptera are a superorder (sometimes treated as an order) of ancient winged insects, placed in the probably paraphyletic group Palaeoptera.The dragonflies and damselflies (which are placed in the subgroup Odonata) are the only living members of this group, which was far more diverse in the late Paleozoic and contained gigantic species, including the griffinflies (colloquially called ...

Odonata is an order of predatory flying insects that includes the dragonflies and damselflies (as well as the Epiophlebia damsel-dragonflies). The two major groups are distinguished with dragonflies (Anisoptera) usually being bulkier with large compound eyes together and wings spread up or out at rest, while damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are usually more slender with eyes placed apart and ...
Meganisoptera is an extinct order of large dragonfly-like insects, informally known as griffenflies or (incorrectly) as giant dragonflies.The order was formerly named Protodonata, the "proto-Odonata", for their similar appearance and supposed relation to modern Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies).
Members of the group first appeared during the Triassic, though members of their total group, Odonatoptera, first appeared in Late Carboniferous. Subcategories This category has the following 8 subcategories, out of 8 total.
Carreno, 1841 [1] Odontoptera is a genus of planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae and tribe Fulgorini: from Central and South America. [2] Species.
Crown group Epiprocta first appeared during the Early Jurassic. [1] It was proposed in 1992 by Heinrich Lohmann to accommodate the inclusion of the Anisozygoptera . The latter has been shown to be not a natural suborder, but rather a paraphyletic collection of lineages, [ 2 ] so it has been combined with the previous suborder Anisoptera , the ...
As regards the Moroccan fossils, however, the largest of the three Odontopteryx-like forms (initially called "Odontopteryx n. sp. 2") has provisionally been termed "Odontopteryx gigas" but may in fact be a Dasornis, while the smallest ("Odontopteryx n. sp. 1") has been considered a distinct genus (as "Odontoptila inexpectata") but that name is ...
