Classification According to Gründel (1975), the correct family name is Triforidae Jousseaume, 1884 and not Triphoridae. And this only when the genera Triforis and Triphora are placed in the same family (Kosuge, 1976). Marshall (1980) however stated that the two genera had to be placed in two different families: the Triforidae and the Triphoridae. Only Triphorid species can be found at the Belgian coast. [details]
