The Xiphocentronidae are a family of caddisflies. It has previously been treated as a subfamily of Psychomyiidae,[1] and has a broad distribution, including parts of Asia, Central Africa and the Americas.[1] It contains nine genera, in three subfamilies:[2] Since the subgenus Cnodocentron (Caenocentron) was elevated to genus level;[3] and the Cretaceous fossil genus Palerasnitsynus was moved from Psychomyiidae to a new subfamily within Xiphocentronidae.[2]
