Family EREMOCHAETIDAE

 

 




Ussatchev (1968) erected the family Eremochaetidae for the single genus Eremochaeta Ussatchev. Kovalev (1989a) discussed the systematics and classification of the family, including in it three genera. Based on morphological characters shown in the fossil specimens, Kovalev (1989a) surmised that the group was parasitic and thermophilic. All taxa have thus far been found in the Cretaceous and Jurassic deposits of Mongolia and Transbaikalia in eastern Russia.

Krivosheina & Zaitzev (1989) placed the family in the basalmost position of their infraorder Asilomorpha (which essentially is equal to orthorrhaphous Brachycera) with a questionable connection to the Bombylioidea.
