Taxonomic notes

Navás (1927c) described a new extant genus and species from Argentina – Brucheiser argentinus – which he placed in a new family, Brucheiseridae, in the order Megaloptera . Riek (1975) described a second species of this same genus and transferred Brucheiseridae to the order Neuroptera . New (1989) demoted Brucheiseridae to a subfamily of Coniopterygidae , a placement that was adopted in Meinander’s (1990) world catalogue of the Coniopterygidae , and subsequently by all later authors. Brucheiserinae currently contains two genera – Brucheiser and Flintoconis Sziráki, 2007 – both extant, and only the first of which has ever been placed in Megaloptera .
