Family | ACCEPTED

N.B.: Pacullinae (genera Paculla, Perania, Lamania and Sabahya) elevated to family rank by Wheeler et al., 2017: 608. The spelling Tetrablemmidae is protected by the ICZN Article 29.5, so the correction to Tetrablemmatidae by Ono & Ogata, 2018: 647 is not justified.

N.B.: removed from the synonymy of Tetrablemma O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1873 by Lehtinen, 1981: 71 (contra Shear, 1978: 9) for the type species only.
