Tetrablemmidae O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1873

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.
