Genera edit
These seven genera belong to the family Scyphacidae:
- Actaecia Dana, 1853
- Haloniscus Chilton, 1920
- Marioniscus Barnard, 1932
- Quelpartoniscus Kwon, 1995
- Scyphacella Smith, 1873
- Scyphax Dana, 1853
- Scyphoniscus Chilton, 1901
Taxonomy edit
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.
