Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
There have been recognized the only family Streptaxidae within Streptaxoidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[2]
2010 taxonomy
Sutcharit et al. (2010)[1] have established a new family Diapheridae within Streptaxoidea as follows:
- family Streptaxidae Gray, 1860
- family Diapheridae Panha & Naggs, 2010[1]
Rowson et al. (2011)[3] have confirmed monophyly of Streptaxidae and Diapheridae as its sister group.[3]
