Some authors have also included the species listed elsewhere in these webpages in ETHMIIDAE and in AGONOXENIDAE as in a subfamily ETHMIINAE of ELACHISTIDAE, but here following Australian Faunal Directory, we treat ETHMIIDAE and ELACHISTIDAE as separate families, the latter with two subfamilies AGONOXENINAE and ELACHISTINAE.
