Genera

These seven genera belong to the family Scyphacidae:

  • Actaecia Dana, 1853
  • Haloniscus Chilton, 1920
  • Marioniscus Barnard, 1932
  • Quelpartoniscus Kwon, 1995
  • Scyphacella Smith, 1873

Taxonomy

The genus Scyphoniscus was moved by Schmidt (2002) from Scyphacidae to Detonidae, and this combination was reflected in a catalogue by Schmalfuss (2003). However, in a more recent paper (Schmidt & Leistikow 2004: Catalogue of genera of the terrestrial Isopoda. - Steentstrupia 28: 1-118) the genus was included again in Scyphacidae.
