Taxon Notes:

This group of families, previously all included in the family Talitridae, is primarily terrestrial, and not all Australian or New Zealand species are listed in CAAB (the included species are aquatic and/or from marginal marine and freshwater habitats, eg beaches). For a full list of known Australian species in this group, please refer to Atlas of Living Australia. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
