As a result of molecular phylogenetic studies by Dijkstra et al. in 2013, the genus Burmargiolestes is considered "incertae sedis", without an assigned family but within the superfamily Calopterygoidea.[2][4]

Species

These two species belong to the genus Burmargiolestes:[4]

  • Burmargiolestes laidlawi Lieftinck, 1960
  • Burmargiolestes melanothorax (Selys, 1891)
gollark: Try calculating the times in seconds or something.
gollark: Wait, a 14-minute song? Hm.
gollark: Perhaps I should recompile my webserver with LibreSSL or BoringSSL instead of OpenSSL.
gollark: personally, I mostly dislikeTELEVISION™
gollark: I do *sort of* know Latin, but I can't do it well without having a textbook handy, and it's not a massively *useful* second language, especially given that we tend to learn stuff which is more like "The war was started by Caecillius and lasted eight horrible years" than "Where is the toilet? Where can I buy snacks?".
