Taxonomy
From editor or global species database
Classification formally raised to superfamily level by Williams et al. (2008). The same suggest that something similar may be done in the future for Arene, but Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) note that Areneinae McLean, 2001, introduced in a congress abstract, is not an available family-level name.
