Literature on larvae of Calopterygoidea occurring in the Oriental Realm is comprehensively reviewed and assessed with a view to enabling workers in the region to identify larvae to genus level, and to navigate and interpret existing literature, which is scattered and uneven in quality. A family key and, where necessary and possible, generic keys for each family are provided, with the most significant gaps in our knowledge identified. Larvae of all 11 families except Priscagrionidae (2 genera) are known but larvae of many genera remain unknown and a few known genera cannot be determined with confidence by morphological characters. In total, larvae of 28 of 50 genera occurring in the region are known but apart from monotypic or ditypic families these are variably known: ratios of 'genera with larva known' to 'total known genera' are Calopterygidae (11/12), with confident generic determination of most specimens; Euphaeidae (6/8) with fair confidence of determination; Chlorocyphidae (6/16) with genera usually not clearly identifiable, hence no generic level key is provided for this family, although known intergeneric and interspecific variation is discussed.
对东洋区出现的色蟌科幼虫的文献进行了全面综述和评估，以便该地区的研究人员能够将幼虫鉴定到属级，并浏览和解读现有的文献，这些文献分散且质量参差不齐。提供了一个科级检索表，并在必要且可能的情况下为每个科提供了属级检索表，同时指出了我们在知识上最显著的空白。除原蟌科（2个属）外，所有11个科的幼虫均为已知，但许多属的幼虫仍未知，一些已知属无法通过形态特征可靠地鉴定。该地区50个属中共有28个属的幼虫已知，但除单型或二型科外，这些属的已知程度各不相同：“已知幼虫的属”与“已知总属数”的比例在色蟌科为11/12，大多数标本能可靠地鉴定到属；扇蟌科为6/8，鉴定有一定把握；溪蟌科为6/16，其属通常难以明确鉴定，因此未为该科提供属级检索表，不过讨论了已知的属间和种间差异。
