Family BEESONIIDAE
Introduction
Worldwide, the Beesoniidae comprise an estimated 19 species in six genera. The described Australian fauna comprises the single species Beesonia ferrugineus (Froggatt). Miller et al. (1998) clearly assigned this species to the Beesoniidae but with no generic placement. For technical reasons the species is placed in the type genus of Beesoniidae.
