Calophyidae Vondráček, 1957: 172 View in CoL .

Diagnosis: Not diagnosable in its present composition (Hollis, 1987; Burckhardt & Basset, 2000; Burckhardt & Mifsud, 2003).

Internal relationships: The Calophyidae comprises five probably monophyletic subfamilies.

Comments: Autapomorphies, morphological or molecular, supporting the monophyly of the Calophyidae have yet to be found. The monophyly of each of its five constituent subfamilies is, however, likely. Based on the metatibia with an internal comb of apical spurs and the lack of metabasitarsal spurs the Atmetocraniinae, Calophyinae and Metapsyllinae may be closely related. The former two share also the one-segmented asymmetric larval antennal flagellum (Burckhardt & Mifsud, 2003).
