Familia: Mesopsychidae
Name
Tillyard, 1917 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Mesopanorpodidae Tillyard, 1918, syn. n.
Included genera
Mesopsyche Tillyard, 1917, Mesopanorpodes Tillyard, 1918, Vitimopsyche Novokshonov & Sukatsheva, 2001, Baissopsyche Novokshonov & Sukatsheva, 2001, Lychnomesopsyche Ren et al., 2009, Permopsyche Bashkuev, gen. n.
Remarks
The genus Mesopanorpodes is restricted here to its type species, Mesopanorpodes wianamattensis. Though Mesopanorpodes appears venationally indistinguishable from Mesopsyche, it doesn’t seem appropriate to synonymize these genera prior to the complete revision of the latter. The genus Mesopsyche (sensu Novokshonov 1997c[1], Novokshonov and Sukacheva 2001[2]) includes apparently quite diverse insects and is quite loosely defined and likely heterogeneous, so its further dividing into several genera cannot be excluded.
