Gomphomacromiidae was formerly considered a distinct family of dragonflies occurring in Chile and Australia.[2] Recent taxonomic revisions have classified the species previously placed in Gomphomacromiidae to now be within the superfamily Libelluloidea.[3]

Genus

[edit]

The family Gomphomacromiidae had included the genus Archaeophya. Archaeophya is no longer assigned to a family, but is placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.[3][4]
