Libelluloidea is a superfamily of dragonflies.
A 2007 phylogenetic analysis suggests that this superfamily contains four families:[1]
- Corduliidae
- Gomphomacromiidae
- Libellulidae
- Macromiidae
Some authors include other families here, including Synthemistidae[2] and the monotypic Neopetaliidae.[3]
