• Scrutiny:
  • Heads, 2010, Rynchophthirina are traditionally considered as a suborder of Phthiraptera. However, given that parasitic lice are derived from within the Troctomorpha, the group is included here as a 'superfamily group'. Rynchophthirina may have close affinities with Ischnocera and Anoplura (see Johnson et al. 2004 and Yoshizawa & Johnson, 2006).

• family Haematomyzidae Enderlein, 1904
