Telephlebiidae was once regarded as a separate family of dragonflies that were endemic to eastern and south-western Australia.
However, recent taxonomic revisions have resulted in the classification of species that were previously placed in Telephlebiidae to now be part of the family Aeshnidae.




Taxonomy


The family Telephlebiidae was previously recognized as an independent family within the order Odonata. However, recent research and taxonomic updates have integrated the species that were once categorized under Telephlebiidae into the family Aeshnidae. Consequently, the family Telephlebiidae is now considered unnecessary.
Species that were part of Telephlebiidae are now acknowledged in both the Australian Faunal Directory
and the World Odonata List maintained at the Slater Museum of Natural History, and they are classified as members of the Aeshnidae family.




Genera


The family included the following genera:

Acanthaeschna Selys, 1883
Antipodophlebia Fraser, 1960
Austroaeschna Selys, 1883
Austrophlebia Tillyard, 1916
Dromaeschna Förster, 1908
Notoaeschna Tillyard, 1916
Spinaeschna Theischinger, 1982
Telephlebia Selys, 1883
