The subfamily Bruchomyiinae contains Genus of Psychodidae in the order Diptera, was originally described by the American entomologist Charles Paul Alexander.
Circumscription
For many years the Bruchomyiinae consisted of just three genera, distinguished by the number of segments in the antennae:
Bruchomyia (24-29 segments),
Eutonnoiria (111 segments) and
Nemopalpus (14 segments). A number of species of the cosmopolitan genus
Nemopalpus were transferred in 2016, to the genera:
Boreofairchildia,
Laurenceomyia and
Notofairchildia,
with oriental species subsequently (2018) placed in
Alexanderia.
