From Kundrata et al., 2020: The monotypic Elaterina Gardiner, 1961 from the Jurassic of the United Kingdom was originally placed in Elateridae, but Whalley [14] questioned that placement because the holotype elytron of E. liassica Gardiner, 1961 shows none of the diagnostic characters of Elateridae. Carpenter [38] classified it in Coleoptera incertae sedis.
