Superfamily Lysianassoidea

The Lysianassoidea is a large superfamily that, at the time of the grant, contained 22 families, 173 genera, and just over 1000 accepted species in the WAD list (1,447 total accepted and unaccepted names). Targeted work resulted in the addition of 115 taxon names to the Lysianassoidea (54 accepted names, 21 of which were described in 2014–2016; 47 unaccepted, with the remainder being temporary names etc.). The 29 taxa (unaccepted) without authority were checked and the authority added; 316 original names and 271 original descriptions were linked. An additional 353 edits were made to existing taxon names in the database (Horton & Thurston, 2015).
