Until recently, many authors considered these bugs to belong within the family Anthocoridae.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". A 2022 molecular phylogenetics study groups them with Joppeicidae in the proposed clade Microphysoidea.[1] A 2023 study recovers them instead as relatively basal Cimiciformes.[2]

The following genera belong to this family:

Subfamily Microphysinae

Subfamily Ciorullinae
