Taxa named by Anton Handlirsch

Bittacidae is a family of scorpionflies commonly called hangingflies or hanging scorpionflies.

The Diaphanopterodea or Paramegasecoptera are an extinct order of moderate to large-sized Palaeozoic insects. They are first known from the Middle Carboniferous (late Serpukhovian or early Bashkirian in age), and include some of the earliest known flying insects.

The Berothidae are a family of winged insects of the order Neuroptera. They are known commonly as the beaded lacewings. The family was first named by Anton Handlirsch in 1906. The family consists of 24 genera and 110 living species distributed discontinuously worldwide, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. Numerous extinct species have also been described. Their ecology is poorly known, but in the species where larval stages have been documented, the larvae are predators of termites.

Tarachodidae is a now obsolete family in the order Mantodea, of genera found in Africa and Asia.

Psychopsidae is a family of winged insects of the order Neuroptera. They are commonly called silky lacewings.

species of insect

The Protorthoptera are an extinct order of Palaeozoic insects, and represent a wastebasket taxon and paraphyletic assemblage of basal neoptera. They appear during the Middle Carboniferous (late Serpukhovian or early Bashkirian), making them among the earliest known winged insects in the fossil record. Pronotal lobes may be expanded to form a shield. The group includes the ancestors of all other polyneopterous insects.

genus of insects

Carcinocoris is a genus of Asian ambush bugs, erected by Anton Handlirsch in 1897. These insects are typical of the tribe Carcinocorini and like the two other genera are notable in having claw-like modifications to their forelegs for capturing prey. Species have been recorded from southern China and Indochina.
