As part of a major revision of mantid taxonomy,[2] this family consists of genera in two subfamilies previously placed in the Liturgusidae (Majanginae) and Deroplatyinae. The new placement means that this taxon is part of the superfamily Epaphroditoidea (of group Cernomantodea) and infraorder Schizomantodea.

gollark: Extreme Ultramegasandboxing.
gollark: Maybe I could add it as an optional "PotatOS extreme ultramegasandbox mode".
gollark: I was referring to that. It's been done.
gollark: Yes, but it's very slow and buggy.
gollark: You can, however, add those operators to strings like potatoBIOS does.
