Wow! I just updated this page with the data that matched at ITIS, but now I see the South African museum website show there are now 14 species in 11 genera and 4 families (although 1 family is just a holding pen). I'm going to have to add this data here soon! - UtherSRG 14:34, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Everything past already - the families have been synonymised, and there is only one family again. And the species described by Klass et al. are highly doubtful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.80.177.75 (talk • contribs)
