Taxon Notes:	The old group Thalassinidea has recently been shown to be polyphyletic, with the included families belonging to two distinct and only distantly related groups, the Axiidea and Gebiidea. See Poore et al, 2014. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
