Rem.:	Type genus: Parkius Ferrari & Markhaseva, 1996 Boxshall & Halsey (2004, p.188) regard this family as a synonym of the Scolecitrichidae in the absence of a genuine phylogenetic analysis. Vyshkvartzeva (2004, p.176 & foll.) contests the position of these authors concerning the genus Parkius and re-establishes the status of the Parkiidae family. The types of setae on the ramus of Mx2 include this family in the 'Bradfordian' grioup of families. For Markhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2014, p.75) the diagnosis is based on the following combination of characters: the apomorphies for the family within the ''Bradfordians'' are Mxp endopod segment 1 with 1 seta and 1 seta-like segmental attenuation; and endopodal segment 4 with single seta-like segmental attenuation and a Mxp basis that is distally very narrow and extended. For these authors the family is maintened and not synonymus of Scolecitrichidae. The validity of this family was questioned and the genus Parkius placed in the family Scolecitrichidae until Vyshkvartzeva (2005) considering the male morphology. Parkius is distinguished from scolecitrichids by the following characters : Praecoxal endites of Mxp with setal formula 1, 1, 2 setae (versus 1, 2, 1 setae (in scolecitrichids) ; the unique attenuated shape of Mxp basis that bears 2 proximal setae (versus 3 setae in scolecitrichids) ; the Mxp endopodal segment 4 armed by 1 seta-like segmental attenuation (versus 3-4 setae in scolecithrids); the male P5 is of a simple structure with the right and left coxa and basis nearly symmetrical (versus P5 usually of complex structure, right and left coxa and basis significantly asymmetrical and right basis oval-rectangular, swollen in scolecitrichids). Type: Parkius Ferrari & Markhaseva, 1996 General characters after Matrkhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2014, p.75) : 1 - Proximal part of rioght A1 in males with only ancestral segments X-XI fused (see fig. 5). 2 - A2 coxa with 1 seta; basis with 2 setae; endopodal segment 1 with 1 seta; setal formula of exopod: 0, 0-0-0-1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3 (see Table 1). 3 - Md endopodal segment 2 with 9 setae; exopod 5-segmented with 6 setae; gnathobase without hump (crest) (see Table 2). 4 - Mx1 setal foprmula: 11, 4, 4, 4, 10, 8, 8? (see Table 3). 5 - Mx2 endites setal formula: 4, 3, 3, 3, 4; endopod with 3w + 5br (see Table 4). 6 - Mxp2: praecoxal endites setal formula: 1, 2, 2: 1w + (1sc+1w) + (1sc+1br); basis with 2 proximal and 2 distal setae (see fig.6 J, Table 5). 7 - Male P5 biramous, of simple structure; right and left coxa and basis of nearly same length; exopods 3-segmented (see fig.7 g).
