Incertae sedis:

The genus †Toxolabis was described in 2014 from a single fossil male recovered from Burmese amber. The single species T. zigrasi matches that of Anisolabididae members. Due to the quality of the preservation, the describing authors were not able to be determine a more specific placement within the family.^[2] Kotejalabis **Cretolabia and Cratoborellia are known from the Aptian aged Crato Formation of Brazil.
