Some families and subfamilies have been separated into component genera based on the phylogeny of Rehn(2003). Genera in bold type indicate that the anatomy of the light-scattering pigment cells from some species has been described by Vernon et al.(1974), Charles and Robinson(1981) or in the present study.
