Cordulegastridae
The Cordulegastridae are a family of Odonata (dragonflies) from the suborder Anisoptera. They are commonly known as spiketails.

Their bright eyes touch at a single point, and they can be found along small, clear, woodland streams, flying slowly 30 to 70 cm above the water. When disturbed, however, they can fly very rapidly.

Spilophorini
The Neotropical tortoise beetle tribe Spilophorini comprises only few genera, including Calyptocephala Chevrolat, 1836 (12 species) and Spilophora Boheman, 1850 (18 species).
