This list is based on The World Checklist of extant Mecoptera Species. [2] Presumably complete up to 1997, it is updated as needed. The number of species in each genus are in parentheses. A number of extinct(†) genera have been described from the fossil record. Anabittacus (1) Kimmins, 1929 (Chile) Anomalobittacus (1) Kimmins, 1928 (South Africa)
