This fauna has strong similarities with the Recent Afrotropical and Indo-Malayan Odonata, suggesting a warm palaeoclimate for the Late Eocene of the Isle of Wight. ‘<jats:italic>Megalestes</jats:italic>’<jats:italic>anglicus</jats:italic>Cockerell, 1915 is a Zygoptera Lestiformia or Coenagrionomorpha of uncertain affinities.</jats:p>
