| Note | |
Nomenclature: The subfamily Naidinae is here treated as a subfamily among the Family Tubificidae, which is correct in phylogenetical sense. However, the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature suppressed the name Tubificidae as being a junior synonym of Naididae. In real life, the transferring all other, "former tubificid" subfamilies to Naididae looks impractical. Even more so, as many other higher taxa of oligochaetes remain conditional, I prefer to temporarily ignore the ICZN rule. [details]
