Scyphacidae is a family of woodlice in the order Isopoda. There are about 7 genera and more than 30 described species in Scyphacidae.
Genera
These seven genera belong to the family Scyphacidae:
Actaecia Dana, 1853
Haloniscus Chilton, 1920
Marioniscus Barnard, 1932
Quelpartoniscus Kwon, 1995
Scyphacella Smith, 1873
Scyphax Dana, 1853
Scyphoniscus Chilton, 1901
Taxonomy
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.
