Rem.: This family has been revised by Brodsky (1950) who adds the new genus Neoaugaptilus. Matthews (1972) takes up the history of this family and includes the genus Disco of Grice et Hulsemann (1965) which will constitute later the type of a new family (Discoidae).
Following Sewell (1932, 1947) and Vervoort (1965), Matthews reconsiders the problem of possible and desired groups within the genus Euaugaptilus by a numerical analysis. The similarity coefficients obtained from 35 characters and their classification by an analysis in principal coordinates permits the author to define two species groups: 'E. affinis' and 'E. squamatus', and to specify the specific affinities that can lead to a synonymy as for E. marginatus and E. longiantennalis. Likewise, it is suggested that the genus Neoaugaptilus should not be maintained. Tanaka and Omori (1974) have used the same procedure for the species sampled in the Japanese waters and consider 21 characters.
9 ou 10 G.: Alrhabdus (?), Augaptilina, Augaptilus, Centraugaptilus, Euaugaptilus, Haloptilus, Heteroptilus, Pontoptilus, Pseudaugaptilus, Pseudhaloptilus. Neoaugaptilus is synonymous with Euaugaptilus (in Matthews,1972, p.63) and Disco constitutes the type of the family of the Discoidae (in Gordeeva,1975, p.189).
Bradford-Grieve & al., 1999 (p.942) and Bradford-Grieve,1999 b (p.42) consider the genus Pseudhaloptilus as a synonym of Pachyptilus.
Boxshall & Halsey, 2004 (p.68) referring to a work of Soh (1998, unpublished) consider that Pachyptilus is a junior synonym of Pseudhaloptilus. They incorporate the genus Alrhabdus (Heterorhabdidae) as incertae sedis among the Augaptilidae until the male is known.

Rem.: Bradford-Grieve (1999 b) follows the position of Matthews (1972, p.63) concerning the synonymy of Neogaptilus. This genus is essentially bathypelagic. 72 spp. + 1 unidentified.

Twenty-five characters used in the calculation of similarity coefficients have been tested by Matthews (1972) to discover which could be used in the diagnoses of the two groups. Since the sequence of species is associated with a tendency towards simplification of the structure and setation of the head appendages, a tendency which appears to have been followed along several different pathways, no single character was sufficient to define the groups. Several species, moreover, show affinities with both groups, so any definition must to some extent be arbitrary in its placing of the division between the groups. For this reason the groups have not been given generic or subgeneric rank.It is possible to classify the species based on the structure of Mx1 in 2 groups: ''affinis''' and ''qsquamatus Groups:
1 - "affinis'' Group:
Mx1 reduced with rarely an endopodite and 3rd endite (lobe) generally bears no setae ; in no case are an endopodite and a setose 3rd endite present together. The toyal number of setae and spines never exceeds 22, an dis usually considerably less.
The cup-shaped appendages on certain setae of Mx2 and Mxp almost always well developed.

2 - ''squamatus'' Group:
Mx1 endopodite often present. Generally the appendage with a total setae and spines 24 and 40.
The cup-shaped appendages on certain setae on Mx2 and Mxp often poorly developed or even absent.
E. angustus, E. grandicornis, E. rectus lack both endopodite in Mx1 and any setae on the 3rd endite, but in all three there are at least 26 setae and spines on the whole appendage.
E. marginatus, E. oblongus have only 21 and 23 setae and spines, respectively, on Mx1.
Remarks on dimensions and sex ratio:
The mean female size is 5,261 mm (n= 69; S= 2,193; Cv= 0,417) and the mean male size is 5,190 mm (n= 29; S= 1,958; Cv= 0,377). The size ratio (M/F) is 0,919 or 91,9 % (n= 27; S= 0,097; Cv= 0,106)
