Taxonomic history edit
The bratos in this family were moved to the family Fionidae as a result of a molecular phylogenetics study.[3] This was reversed and the family Tergipedidae restricted to the one nominate genus in 2017 as a result of a re-evaluation of this study and further DNA results.[4]
Genera edit
Genera within the family Tergipedidae include:[5]
- Tergipes Cuvier, 1805
- Genera and subfamilies currently brought into synonymy
- Subfamily Tergipedinae: synonym of Tergipedidae Bergh, 1889
