Subfamily Platypsyllinae Ritsema, 1869

Platypsyllidae Ritsema, 1869: 38 [stem: Platypsyll-]. Type genus: Platypsyllus Ritsema, 1869.

Leptinidae J. L. LeConte, 1872: 802 [stem: Leptin-]. Type genus: Leptinus Müller, 1817. Comment: this family-group name has been attributed to J. L. LeConte (1866 [error for 1867]) in the literature, however J. L. LeConte (1867: 368) did not give a name to the new taxon and therefore it is not available; see Newton and Thayer (1992: 37).
