Remarks

Holman & Watling (1983) proposed a classification scheme where the Stilipedidae consisted of an assemblage of three well distinct homogeneous subfamilies: Alexandrellinae Holman & Watling, 1983 , Astyrinae Pirlot, 1934 and Stilipedinae Holmes, 1908 . The monophyly of this assemblage was questioned by Andres & Lott (1986) and was not supported by a recent phylogenetic analysis including two of these subfamilies: the Alexandrellinae and the Astyrinae ( Verheye et al. 2016b, 2017). The classification of Holman & Watling (1983) is retained herein for convenience only. In the past, members of the family Stilipedidae have been attributed to a wide range of families. For example Schellenberg (1931) included Alexandrella schellenbergi (as Iphimediopsis australis ) in the Acanthonotozomatidae ; K.H. Barnard (1932) put Eclysis similis in the Paramphithoidae , and Nicholls (1938) put Alexandrella mixta (as Parandaniexis mixtus ) in the Stegocephalidae .
