4.1.2. Zygoptera

(BS = 100, PP = 1, QS = 0.7/0.75/0.99)

The damselflies are recovered as monophyletic with high support. There has been some uncertainty about the monophyly of Zygoptera ( Hasegawa and Kasuya, 2006; Saux et al., 2003; Trueman, 1996) and particularly the relationship of Lestoidea to Anisoptera in the past ( Hasegawa and Kasuya, 2006; Saux et al., 2003), but it is clear due to high support from both these data and all other recent molecular analyses ( Bybee et al., 2008; Dumont et al., 2010; Dijkstra et al., 2014) that Zygoptera is monophyletic.
