Protoneuridae was formerly considered a family of damselflies. Recent taxonomic revisions have classified the species previously placed in Protoneuridae into two existing families - Coenagrionidae and Platycnemididae, both in the superfamily Coenagrionoidea.

Along with Pseudostigmatidae, New World Protoneuridae are now sunk in Coenagrionidae and Old World Protoneuridae in Platycnemididae.
