Sciotropis is a genus of flatwings in the damselfly order Odonata. There are at least two described species in Sciotropis.[1][2][3]
As a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013, the genus Sciotropis is considered "incertae sedis", without an assigned family but within the superfamily Calopterygoidea.[1][3]
Species
These two species belong to the genus Sciotropis:[3]
- Sciotropis cyclanthorum Rácenis, 1959
- Sciotropis lattkei De Marmels, 1994
