Philogenia is a genus of damselflies in the family Philogeniidae.[2][3] Species of the genus are found in tropical Central and South America, and inhabit forest streams.[4]
Description
Species of the genus Philogenia are medium-sized to large damselflies that inhabit forest streams. Adults are usually dark in colour with yellow, blue or green markings and typically perch with their wings held open.[5] The wings are long and narrow, often clear but sometimes darkened towards the tips, and have a distinctive fine network of veins near the outer margins.[5]
Taxonomy
The genus Philogenia was erected by Edmond de Sélys Longchamps in 1862.[1] It was historically included within the family Megapodagrionidae and later formed the basis of the tribe Philogeniini established by Janis Rácenis in 1959.[6] Molecular studies subsequently showed that Philogenia and Archaeopodagrion form a distinct lineage of damselflies, now recognised as the family Philogeniidae.[5][3]

Etymology
The genus name Philogenia is probably derived from the Greek φίλος (philos, "loving", "fond of" or "friend") and γένος (genos, "kind", "race" or "lineage").[7] Sélys did not explain the derivation and its intended meaning remains uncertain.[1]
