Gomphomacromiidae was formerly considered a distinct family of dragonflies occurring in Chile and Australia.

[2] Recent taxonomic revisions have classified the species previously placed in Gomphomacromiidae to now be within the superfamily Libelluloidea.

[3] The family Gomphomacromiidae had included the genus Archaeophya.

[2] Archaeophya is no longer assigned to a family, but is placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Libelluloidea.
