This list of genera and species is based on Prendini (2026) and will be updated with new taxonomic decisions as soon as possible. The list was originally created from Fet et al.(2000). September 2019: Subspecies are included in the list. I try to update the list as additions and changes are published. * denotes changes after Fet et al. (2000). I will be grateful for information about new development in the taxonomy of this family. For information about synonyms and bibliographies, see Fet et al. (2000)
