Subfamiliae: Iolininae – Pronematinae – Tydaeolinae

Name

Iolinidae Pritchard, 1956

• Original status: valid family
• Type genus: Iolina

Notes

• The superfamily Iolinoidea erected by Pritchard (1956) was lowered in hierarchic rank and included in the Tydeoidea by Krantz (1978: 237).
• The Iolinidae were redefined by André (1984) and expanded by André & Fain (2000) to include the subfamilies Pronematinae and Tydaeolinae, which previously belonged to the family Tydeidae.
• According to Zhang et al. (2011), the family comprises 36 genera and 125 species.
