Aeshnoidea is a superfamily of dragonflies that contains two extant families, Aeshnidae and Austropetaliidae.[2] [3][4]

This clade also contains these fossil families:[5]

  • Superfamily Aeshnoidea (=clade Aeshnoptera Bechly, 1996)
    • †Cymatophlebiidae Handlirsch, 1906[6]
    • †Eumorbaeschnidae Bechly et al., 2001[7]
    • †Liupanshaniidae Bechly et al., 2001[8]
    • †Mesuropetalidae Bechly, 1996
    • †Paracymatophlebiidae Bechly et al., 2001
    • †Progobiaeshnidae Bechly, Nel, Martínez-Delclòs et al., 2001[9]
    • †Rudiaeschnidae Bechly et al., 2001
    • Clade Aeshnodea Bechly, 1996 (incl. Aeshnidae)
      • †Burmaeshnidae Huang et al., 2017[10]
      • †Enigmaeshnidae Nel et al., 2008[11]
      • †Libanoaeshnidae Azar, Maksoud, Abi-Saad & Nel, 2024[12]
      • †Primumaeshnidae Pouillon & Nel, 2020[13]

The paracymatophlebiid †Sinocymatophlebia and the indeterminate aeshnoid †Propecymatophlebia Huang, Nel & Cai, 2017,[14] known from the Middle Jurassic of China, represent the oldest known crown group dragonflies.[5]
