† Subfamily Meligethiellinae Kireichuk & Ponomarenko, 1990
Remarks.
Because Meligethiellinae is excluded from Cleroidea herein, the synonymization of the subfamily with Peltinae : Thymalini is no longer valid. Meligethiellinae should be classified within traditional Cucujoidea and it is probably related to the extant Nitidulidae . However, this issue lies beyond the scope of this communication and should be addressed by those working on Cucujoidea .
