Mae'n fwy na phosibl mai'r teulu yma o bryfaid, y Libellulidae (Cymraeg: teulu'r Picellwyr) ydy'r teulu mwyaf o weision neidr ar wyneb y Ddaear. Mae'n cynnwys yr isdeuluoedd: Corduliidae a'r Macromiidae yn ôl rhai, er bod cryn ddadlau am hyn gan naturiaethwyr. Hyd yn oed heb y ddau isdeulu hyn, mae'r teulu Libellulidae'n dal i gynnwys dros 1,000 o rywogaethau.
Mae eu tiriogaeth yn ymestyn dros wyneb y Ddaear, fwy neu lai, ond ceir ambell un, fel Libellula angelina sy'n hynod o brin. Mae llawer o aelodau'r teulu hwn yn lliwgar eithriadol, neu gyda bandiau ar eu hadenydd. Mae'r genws cysylltiedig, Plathemis yn cynnwys y 'cynffonau gwynion'. Mae'r genws Celithemis yn cynnwys sawl rhywogaeth hynod o liwgar, a welir yn yr Unol Daleithiau. Lliwgar hefyd ydy'r rhywogaethau yn y genera Trithemis a Zenithoptera ac ymhlith y rhai mwyaf cyffredin y mae: Tramea a Pantala.
