Zaitzev (1989) and Pape et al . (2011) considered it as a subfamily of Bombyliidae . Rondani (1863) described two Palaearctic species in Mythicomyiidae , both considered as valid ( Zaitzev 1989 , Contini et al. 1995 , Evenhuis 2002 ). The type material was not found in this study and is presumed lost.
