However, it does not seem to include any of the genera listed in the taxobox. Are those missing, is there synonymy, or has there been a mistake? Rigadoun (talk) 19:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Size of genitalia of the club-tailed dragonfly[edit]

In an X-files episode, "War of the Coprophages" an entomologist examines the genitalia of a cockroach on order to establish specie and is astounded to discover that it is "hung like a club-tailed dragonfly". Does this reflect on reality? Is there something unusual about the size if these genitalia that should be mentioned in the article? __meco (talk) 14:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Distinctive Nymph[edit]

I feel like it should be discussed on this page that the nymphs of Gomphidae have extremely distinctive antennae and are notable in aquatic entomology keys as such. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Delightedly (talk • contribs) 07:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have sourced and added this information. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Range[edit]

Not a word on range. Where do these Gomphidae proliferate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.169.67 (talk) 13:44, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
