Family Cytheruridae View in CoL M̹ller, 1894
Remarks
The classification of Triassic and Early Jurassic Cytheruridae was revised by Whatley & Boomer (2000), who considered that they are distributed in two subfamilies: Cytheropterinae Hanai, 1957 and Cytherurinae M̹ller, 1894. Conversely, Maddocks & Steineck (1987) and Mazzini & Gliozzi (2000) proposed a three subfamily arrangement for the Cytheruridae : Cytheropterinae Hanai, 1957 , Cytherurinae M̹ller, 1894 and Eucytherurinae Puri, 1974 (emend. Maddocks & Steineck 1987). The recent phylogenetic analysis carried on the living Eucytherurinae Xylocythere sarrazinae Tanaka & Hayashi, 2019 from a hydrothermal vent field in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, supports the three subfamily scheme ( Tanaka & Hayashi 2019). This molecular analysis furthermore highlights the basal position of Xylocythere sarrazinae , supporting the hypothesis of an ancient origin of Eucytherurinae. In their revision, Whatley & Boomer (2000) considered a number of Early Mesozoic Cytheruridae as junior synonyms of the extant genus Eucytherura Müller, 1894 and classified this genus within the Cytherurinae , in line with contributions on extent Cytheruridae (e.g., Ayress et al. 1995; Ballent & Whatley 2009).
