The classification of the Pergidae has recently been updated and the family now comprises 12 instead of previously 14 subfamilies. The Euryinae are now included in the Perreyiinae, and the Phylacteophaginae are placed within the Acordulecerinae. For details see Schmidt & Walter 2013.
The table shows the number of species in the New World and Australasia. In brackets the number of species that do not occur in Australia but are confined to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
