Acochlidiidae was classified as the only family within the superfamily Acochlidioidea Küthe, 1935 in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[4] Palliohedylidae was in turn classified as the only family within the superfamily Palliohedyloidea.[4]
Schrödl & Neusser (2010)[1] redefined the taxonomy of Acochlidiacea in 2010, placing the family Acochlidiidae in the clade Hedylopsacea.[1]
According to Schrödl & Neusser (2010),[1] there are three genera in the family Acochlidiidae:[1]
Acochlidium Strubell, 1892[1][5]
- Acochlidium amboinense Strubell, 1892[1][6]
- Acochlidium bayerfehlmanni Wawra, 1980[1][6]
- Acochlidium fijiiensis Haynes & Kenchington, 1991[1][7][8]
Palliohedyle Rankin, 1979[1]
- Palliohedyle sutteri - synonym: Acochlidium sutteri Wawra[1][9]
- Palliohedyle weberi - synonym: Acochlidium weberi Bergh, 1896[1][6]
Strubellia Odhner, 1937[1]
- Strubellia paradoxa (Strubell, 1892) - synonym: Acochlidium paradoxum Strubell[1]
