Scyphacidae is a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda. It contains 6 genera and about 20 described species in Scyphacidae. [1] [2]
These six genera belong to the family Scyphacidae: [2]
The genus Scyphoniscus was moved by Schmidt (2002) from Scyphacidae to Detonidae, and this combination was reflected in a catalogue by Schmalfuss (2003). However, in a more recent paper (Schmidt & Leistikow 2004: Catalogue of genera of the terrestrial Isopoda. - Steentstrupia 28: 1-118) the genus was included again in Scyphacidae.
