Merrifieldia

As of version 1.1.23.125^[update], the Catalogue of the Pterophoroidea of the World lists the following species for genus Merrifieldia:^[1]

• †Merrifieldia oligocenicus (Bigot, Nel & Nel, 1986), formerly Pterophorus oligocenicus,^[2] from the late Oligocene–early Miocene boundary.^[3]

This species was originally described as Pterophorus oligocenicus, and its authors associated it with what was at the time the tridactyla-spicidactylus group within genus Pterophorus.^[3] Although these species were transferred to Merrifieldia as a result of the 1996 revision of Pterophorus sensu lato by Cees Gielis, Pterophorus oligocenicus remained within Pterophorus until it was transferred to Merrifieldia in 2012 by Sohn et al.^[3][2]
