Subfamily Townesitinae Kasparyan, 1994
This is an extinct subfamily known from Baltic amber and Bembridge have been described. Undescribed taxa were reported also from the Tadushi Formation ( Kopylov et al., 2018). They are numerous in Baltic amber and are second in number only to cryptines and pherhombines— more than 18% according to our own data. The subfamily is represented in Baltic amber by five species from four genera ( Kasparyan, 1994): Rasnitsynites tarsalis Kasparyan, 1994 , Lygurella tibialis Kasparyan, 1994 (tribe Rasnitsynitini ), Townesites mandibularis Kasparyan, 1994 , Marjorietta minor Kasparyan, 1994 and M. major Kasparyan, 1994 (tribe Townesitini ); the most common species is M. minor . Two species, Marjorietta gigantea Khalaim, 2014 and M. disrupta ( Cockerell, 1921) , are known from Bembridge marls, and another species, Acourtia perplexa Cockerell, 1921 , was described from a single forewing and is tentatively placed in Townesitinae ( Khalaim, 2014) .
