The family Musidoromimidae was placed in the superfamily Eopolyneuridea
by Rohdendorf (1964). However, the venational characters may be suspect.
If some of the veins illustrated by Rohdendorf (1962) are in fact artifacts
as implied by Hennig (1954) for other of Rohdendorf's figures, then the
venation of Musidoromima could be interpreted variously, including
that of some homopterans. The genus is provisionally retained in the Diptera
in this catalog until such time as the type specimen can be restudied to
ascertain its true position.
