In cladistics , the genus Libellula and the genus Orthetrum are compared within the Libellulinae to all other genera of this subfamily. For the subfamilies of the sailing dragonflies there is currently no study that allows a dichotomous representation of the phylogeny , so according to the current state of research, the Libellulinae cannot be clearly compared to another subfamily as a sister group.
