Abstract
The family Palingeniidae is reclassified to include Eastern Hemisphere Palingeniinae and Western Hemisphere Pentageniinae. The reclassification is based on both phyletic and phenetic criteria; and recommendations for the evolutionary classification of genera, which are phylogenetically intermediate between traditional family groups, are presented. The family and respective subfamilies are morphologically redefined and their diagnosis reviewed.
