Remarks

In our previous publications ( Páll-Gergely et al. 2016, 2017, 2020, 2021; Páll-Gergely & Asami 2017; Páll-Gergely & Auffenberg 2019; Páll-Gergely & Hunyadi 2022; Páll-Gergely 2023), we treated this group as a family of its own right. However, the recent molecular phylogeny ( Páll-Gergely et al. 2024) suggested treating Alycaeinae as a family would result in numerous paraphyletic groups, and therefore, Cyclophoridae should be maintained at the family rank, and Alycaeinae is to be treated as one of its subfamilies.
