Note: Schorr, Lindeboom & Paulson, 2003 don't regognize family Hypolestidae and they list all these genera to family Megapodagrionidae.

Because I have decided to follow Bechly (1998-2002) in this presentation, I have thus inclueded those generas from Schorr, et al. that Bechly lists to Hypolestidae.
