FAMILY DENDYIDAE DE LAUBENFELS, 1936 View in CoL
A very important point that must be discussed here is the case of the family Dendyidae . This family was proposed by de Laubenfels in 1936 to include species of Dendya . In 1990, Borojevic and collaborators proposed a new family, Soleniscidae , later corrected to Soleneiscidae , to include species of Soleneiscus and Dendya ( Borojevic, Boury-Esnault & Vacelet, 1990; Borojevic et al., 2002). It seems that those authors overlooked the family Dendyidae , which has priority over Soleneiscidae . Therefore, we synonymize here Soleneiscidae with Dendyidae . However, as the original diagnosis of Dendyidae is very incomplete and does not include Soleneiscus , we propose to keep the diagnosis given by Borojevic et al. (2002).
