Subfamily Townesitinae Kasparyan, 1994

This is an extinct subfamily known from Baltic amber and Bembridge have been described. Undescribed taxa were reported also from the Tadushi Formation (Kopylov et al., 2018). They are numerous in Baltic amber and are second in number only to cryptines and pherhombines— more than 18% according to our own data. The subfamily is represented in Baltic amber by five species from four genera (Kasparyan, 1994): Rasnitsynites tarsalis Kasparyan, 1994, Lygurella tibialis Kasparyan, 1994 (tribe Rasnitsynitini), Townesites mandibularis Kasparyan, 1994, Marjorietta minor Kasparyan, 1994 and M. major Kasparyan, 1994 (tribe Townesitini); the most common species is M. minor . Two species, Marjorietta gigantea Khalaim, 2014 and M. disrupta (Cockerell, 1921), are known from Bembridge marls, and another species, Acourtia perplexa Cockerell, 1921, was described from a single forewing and is tentatively placed in Townesitinae (Khalaim, 2014) .
