Taxon Notes:

This family is now regarded as restricted to the northern hemisphere, although some species are known invasives, and may be transported to this region in the future. Native Australasian groups previously included in this family are now all placed in other families. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to family level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
