Family OREGONIIDAE Garth, 1958 View in CoL

The classification made by Davie et al. (2015a) was followed. Davie’s and WoRMS (2021) classification agree with Marco-Herrero et al. (2013), that based on the molecular and larval morphology evidence, proposed the removal of Ergasticus A. Milne-Edwards , and related genera ( Bothromaia A.B. Williams & Moffitt , Parapleisticantha Yokoya , Pleistacantha Miers and Pleisticanthoides Yokoya ) from Inachidae MacLeay and their placement within the Oregoniidae as a separate subfamily, Pleistacanthinae Števčić. Oregoniidae , with this new composition, includes nine genera and 34 species. Only the genus Pleistacantha was cited in Mozambique waters. However, some authors still include the genus Pleistacantha within Inachidae ( Emmerson 2016c) .
