The final stadium larva of Euphaea superba Kimmins, 1936 is described and illustrated based on a male and a female specimens collected in Zhejiang province, China. The larvae were associated with the adults by mtCOI gene sequence. The larva of E. superba is diagnosed from other described members of the genus by the gena having 2-4 spines on outer side, the movable hook about 1.6 time as long as median cleft and female with primary genitalia extending to the posterior margin of abdominal segment 10.

The damselfly genus Bayadera Selys, 1853 comprises 17 species, but the larvae of only four species have been described. Here we describe the final stadium larva of another species-Bayadera serrata Davies Yang, 1996. Larvae were collected from a headwater stream at Nam Nao National Park, Phetchabun Province, Thailand.

The final stadium larva of Euphaea decorata Hagen in Selys is described and illustrated for the first time. The larva of E. decorata is typical of the genus and characterized by having a flat and long body with large saccoid caudal gills, seven pairs of lateral abdominal gills, two or three large and sharp spines in front of the ventral margin of the eyes, and tridentate palpal lobes of the prementum.

Odonate larvae are commonly considered opportunistic general predators in freshwater ecosystems. However, the dietary breadth of most odonate larvae in forest streams is still poorly documented. We characterized the prey species and estimated the level of dietary niche overlap of two damselflies, Euphaea formosa Hagen 1869 and Matrona cyanoptera Hämäläinen and Yeh, 2000 in a forest stream of central Taiwan on the basis of DNA barcoding of larval feces.
