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,[1] with oriental species subsequently (2018) placed in Alexanderia.[2]
