Family Cratosmylidae Myskowiak, Escuillié & Nel, 2015

Taxonomic notes. The taxonomic status of Cratosmylidae is unsettled in recent literature, with some authors recognizing Cratosmylidae as a separate family (e.g., Makarkin et al., 2017; Archibald and Makarkin, 2020; Lu et al., 2022), and other authors incorporating ‘cratosmylid’ taxa into different circumscriptions of Nymphidae (e.g., Menon et al., 2005; Myskowiak et al., 2016; Winterton et al., 2019). While the matter is currently not well resolved, herein, we treat Araripenymphes and Cratosmylus in Cratosmylidae following Lu et al. (2022).
