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, in addition to the nominal subfamily, the subfamilies Pronematinae and Tydaeolinae, which previously belonged to the family Tydeidae.
