Taxonomy

2005 taxonomy

There have been recognized the only family Streptaxidae within Streptaxoidea in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[2]

2010 taxonomy

Sutcharit et al. (2010)[1] have established a new family Diapheridae within Streptaxoidea as follows:

• family Streptaxidae Gray, 1860
• family Diapheridae Panha & Naggs, 2010[1]

Rowson et al. (2011)[3] have confirmed monophyly of Streptaxidae and Diapheridae as its sister group.[3]
