Classification of the Achilidae

The family Achilidae was cataloged by Metcalf (1948), and revised to the genus level by Fennah (1950) who provided a key to genus.  Previously Metcalf (1938) had established two subfamilies, Apatesoninae and Achilinae, diagnosed “by the prominence of the cephalic carinae and by the carriage of the tegmina” (Fennah 1950).  Fennah (1950) provided little commentary with respect to subfamilies, but rather concentrated on tribes.

Subsequently, Emeljanov (1991) revised the higher classification, describing a number of new tribes and including the Achilixiidae within the Achilidae.  He defined 3 subfamilies, two of which (Bebaiotinae Emeljanov, 1991, Achilixiinae Muir, 1923) were erected for the  traditional Achilixiidae, and the third (Achilinae) for traditional achilids.  Subsequently, Achilixiidae have been treated as a full family, but the subfamilies of Achilidae have not been revisited, leaving a single subfamily (Achilinae), divided into three infrafamilial groupings (“supertribes”) Achilites Stål, 1866, Apatesonites Metcalf, 1938, and Myconites Fennah, 1950, with the following principle features:

Supertribe Myconites
Second anal vein of hindwing simple, more or less straight, mostly not reaching wing margin by considerable distance and apically slightly dilated.

Supertribe Apatesonites
Wings at rest tectately folded, membranes overlapping or contiguous with their proximal (ventral) sides; hindwing with M separated from R basally of arculus, at point of connection to arculus M far distant from R – at 1/2 or entire length of arculus.  Wings at rest folded flat, membranes overlapping; hindwings with median vein coming off basal cell as common stem although independent, bout contiguous to radial stem, or arculus absent and basal cel not separated.

Supertribe Achilites
First anal vein of hindwing subbasaly or in middle part forming branch entering anojugal process and anastomosing with second anal vein.

The phylogeny, hence the higher classification of the Achilidae, has never been tested in a formal quantitative phylogenetic setting, and few modern works (aside from Asche 2015) treat Achilidae holistically.  O’Brien (1971) treated the Plectoderini north of Mexico.

Some North American Achilidae (scale = 0.5 mm). E. Catonia picta, F. Cixidia septentrionalis, G. Juniperthia indella, H. Momar maculifrons (From Bartlett et al. 2014).

I have recently treated the supertribes of Achilidae as subfamilies (Bartett et al. 2018) and will adopt that nomenclature here.

Below is a summary of the classification of Achilidae, according to FLOW (Jan. 2018).
