 | | It is hypothesized that the Carpiliidae, Platyxanthidae, Tumidocarcinidae new family, Zanthopsidae, and at least some subfamilies of the Eriphiidae form a natural group and may belong to a discrete superfamily, based upon paleontological and neontological evidence. |
 | | Goniocypoda tessieri is confirmed as a member of the Hexapodidae, extending the range of that family into the Cretaceous; however, the family is not a likely candidate for embracing the ancestral xanthoids. |
 | | SEVERAL RECENT works have considered the fossil Xanthoidea MacLeay, 1838 in an attempt to place the fossils within the context of the group's most up-to-date neontological classification (Schweitzer, 2000, 2003a, 2003b; Karasawa and Kato, 2003a, 2003b; Karasawa and Schweitzer, 2004; Schweitzer and Karasawa, 2004; Schweitzer et al., 2004). |
