Gomphomacromiidae was formerly considered a distinct family of dragonflies occurring in Chile and Australia. Recent taxonomic revisions have classified the species previously placed in Gomphomacromiidae to now be within the superfamily Libelluloidea.
Genus
The family Gomphomacromiidae had included the genus Archaeophya. Archaeophya is no longer assigned to a family, but is placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.
