The new dragonfly family Austroperilestidae n. fam. based on Austroperilestes hunco n. gen. and sp. is erected from early Eocene of Patagonia (Argentina). Its phylogenetic relationships within the Zygoptera (sensu Bechly, 1996) are discussed. The new family seems to be related to Perilestidae, with a Neotropical and Afrotropical recent distribution.
