Taxon Notes:This family as currently constituted is paraphyletic, but more genetic and other work is needed to clarify the relations of the included groups. See O'Hara et al, 2017 and O'Hara et al, 2018. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to family level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
