It was assigned to Coleoptera by Schaufuss (1890); to Polyphaga by Crowson (1981); and to Staphylinidae by Lawrence and Newton (1995), Wappler (2003), Bouchard et al. (2011), Parker and Grimaldi (2014), Peris et al. (2014), Yin et al. (2017), Yin et al. (2019), Yin and Cai (2022) and Cai et al. (2022).
