Note:— Arthropteris has been tentatively placed here by Smith et al. (2006a), but Liu (2007b) placed it in Dryopteridaceae . The correct placement of this genus is still uncertain. This family is poorly defined, especially when Arthropteris and Psammiosorus are included. The number of genera that belong to Tectariaceae is still uncertain.
