Taxonomy
The following subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi of 2005:
- Iniforinae
- Metaxiinae
- Triphorinae
Gründel (1975), stated that the correct family name is Triforidae Jousseaume, 1884 and not Triphoridae, but this is only true when the genera Triforis and Triphora are placed in the same family (Kosuge, 1976). Marshall (1980) however stated that the two genera need to be placed in two different families: the Triforidae and the Triphoridae.
