Five species are known in North America. These are medium sized slender dragonflies
with colorations of either browns, blues or blacks. The abdomen in the mature male
can appear slightly clubbed. The wings are longer than the abdomen and may in some
species display a lacy brown wing pattern or in others, a ting of brown. Setwings
are known for their rather unique way of perching, with abdomen raised and wings
lowered, in what is referred to by others to be that of a sprinter's "get-set"
stance.

Setwings inhabit marshy areas, ponds, streams, lakes, ponds and rivers.
