Amanipodagrionidae Dijkstra & Ware fam.n.

(type genus: Amanipodagrion Pinhey, 1962 )

– large damselflies (hindwing 32–34 mm) restricted to East Usambara mountains of Tanzania. Wings with two Ax and no intercalated veins distally in radial fields; arculus roughly at twothirds of distance between wing base and node; quadrangle without cross-veins; R4 originates one cell proximal to subnode and IR3 at subnode; proximal supplementary cross-vein between median vein and R4 present; broad brown bands roughly at middle of wings, somewhat closer to node than to large and very swollen pterostigma. Adult perches with wings widely spread at rest and long abdomen hanging down. Thorax and abdomen are largely black, with limited dull yellow markings and no metallic shine or bright colors, but dorsum of abdominal segments 8–10 white pruinose in mature male. Genital ligula without setae on shaft, ending in two broad and simple lobes. Adult male cerci forcipate, short and thick, with strong subbasal tooth on interior and numerous denticles on exterior margin; paraprocts simple and rather slender, about half as long as cerci, curved up- and outward. Nymph unknown. Included genera: Amanipodagrion .
