Taxonomic notes
Navás (1927c)
described a new extant genus and species from
Argentina
–
Brucheiser argentinus
– which he placed in a new family, Brucheiseridae, in the order
Megaloptera
.
Riek (1975)
described a second species of this same genus and transferred Brucheiseridae to the order
Neuroptera
.
New (1989)
demoted Brucheiseridae to a subfamily of
Coniopterygidae
, a placement that was adopted in
Meinander’s (1990)
world catalogue of the
Coniopterygidae
, and subsequently by all later authors.
Brucheiserinae
currently contains two genera –
Brucheiser
and
Flintoconis
Sziráki, 2007
– both extant, and only the first of which has ever been placed in
Megaloptera
.
