Xiphocentronidae

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