Iolinidae Pritchard, 1956

The superfamily Iolinoidea erected by Pritchard (1956) was lowered in hierarchic rank and included in the Tydeoidea by Krantz (1978: 237).
The Iolinidae were redefined by André (1984) and expanded by André & Fain (2000) to include, in addition to the nominal subfamily, the subfamilies Pronematinae and Tydaeolinae, which previously belonged to the family Tydeidae.
According to Zhang et al. (2011), the family comprises 36 genera and 125 species.
No fossil record according to Dunlop et al. (2020: 77).
Family set apart from Tydeidae and Ereynetidae by Szudarek-Trepto et al. (2022: fig. 2).
