2005 taxonomy

Acochlidiidae was classified as the only family within the superfamily Acochlidioidea Küthe, 1935 in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[4] Palliohedylidae was in turn classified as the only family within the superfamily Palliohedyloidea.[4]

2010 taxonomy

Schrödl & Neusser (2010)[1] redefined the taxonomy of Acochlidiacea in 2010, placing the family Acochlidiidae in the clade Hedylopsacea.[1]

Genera

According to Schrödl & Neusser (2010),[1] there are three genera in the family Acochlidiidae:[1]

Acochlidium Strubell, 1892[1][5]

Palliohedyle Rankin, 1979[1]

  • Palliohedyle sutteri - synonym: Acochlidium sutteri Wawra[1][9]
  • Palliohedyle weberi - synonym: Acochlidium weberi Bergh, 1896[1][6]

Strubellia Odhner, 1937[1]

  • Strubellia paradoxa (Strubell, 1892) - synonym: Acochlidium paradoxum Strubell[1]
  • Strubellia wawrai Brenzinger, Neusser, Jörger & Schrödl, 2011
gollark: CGI is outdated and not cool now, see.
gollark: The headquarters' walls are filled with holes for no apparent reason.
gollark: Unlike GTech™, they have no products, and are working on a drone delivery system which doesn't... do anything... and wouldn't be useful if it did.
gollark: Their headquarters is a ridiculous maze the construction of which nearly bankrupted them (because they don't do concrete in-house, like wrong people), their broken laser "defenses" try and lase me while in my office, many of the doors are mysteriously missing, and another company stuck a giant blob on top of their roof.
gollark: I suppose PixelTech™ is generally not very competent.
