Cordulegastridae


Common name
spiketail dragonflies
Like other Odonata, members of this family have four wingpads. Like members of the sub-order Anisoptera, the abdomen terminates in five points. A spoon-shaped mouthpart under the head with large teeth that join along the midline distinguish Cordulegastridae from other dragonfly larvae. This family contains the single genus Cordulegaster.
