275:: The adults have a length of 15–40 mm. They have two antenodal crossveins, most postnodal crossveins aligned with crossveins behind them, quadrilateral cell almost rectangular, no supplementary intercalary longitudinal veins, and an anal vein fused with wing margin. Their antennae are seven-segmented.
317:: Isostictid damselfly nymphs occur in streams, rivers, and riverine pools. The adults occur along these habitats. The nymphs are found on submerged vegetation, willow roots, leaf packs and detritus.
281:: Larvae have a labial mask, with short flat palps and narrow palpal setae. Premental setae are variable, median lobe is shallowly cleft; caudal gills are saccular to triquetral and strongly nodate.
