Strephoptilus Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013 .

— Type species Strephoptilus borealis Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013 . Other species S. longus Rasnitsyn and Aristov, 2013 , both based on nearly complete forewings, clearly shows the basal common stem of Cu from which the convex CuA and the concave CuP emerge, plus the presence of a series of anterior branches of CuA that are less convex than the main stem of this vein (see Rasnitsyn and Aristov 2013: fig. 12e, f). As these characters are diagnostic for the Anthracoptilidae , the attribution of Strephoptilus to this family remains well supported.
