The family Darcythompsoniidae presently comprises four genera: Leptocaris, Darcythompsonia, Kristensenia Por, 1983, and Falcocaris Fiers. Fiers (in Litt) also proposed to Kunz to accommodate Leptocaris mangalis Por, 1983, within Falcocaris (Kunz 1994: 51), but this genus has not been diagnosed so far. The four genera have been defined by a set of characters and character states such as (1) absence or presence of well developed or rudimentary maxillipeds, (2) P1 END 1 with or without an anteriorly directed inner seta with comb tip, (3) presence or absence and armature of the mandibular palp, (4) shape of anal operculum and caudal rami, (5) presence or absence of sexual dimorphic structures on the second and third male urosomite, and (6) presence or absence of sexual dimorphism in the male P2 END 2, anal operculum and caudal rami.
