As recognized by previous authors, the family Lysaretidae Kinberg, 1865 includes genera with dissimilar jaw morphology and composition. Lysaretidae is restricted here to include only Lysarete Kinberg, characterized by jaws mineralized with calcite and relatively short carriers with transverse musculature. Oenone Savigny, Halla Costa and Tainokia Knox & Green are removed into the family Oenonidae Kinberg, 1865. These genera are characterized by heavily sclerotized jaws which are not mineralized, and by long carriers with oblique-longitudinal musculature.
