Rem.: On the occasion of the description of a new genus Parundinella, Fleminger (1957) reviews the taxonomic status of the family Tharybidae, included in the Isokerandria by Sars (1902). The author thinks that this family places itself naturally in the superfamily Paracalanina of Gurney (1931) and believes that the section, established by Sars is inadequate. Considering the relation between the genera, the author concludes that Pseudotharybis should be removed from this family, and notes the analogies with the genus Drepanopsis.
Undinella primitively included among the Scolecitrichidae has been removed from it by Brodsky (1950) who places it in the Tharybidae family.
The position of Bradford (1973, p.147) concerning certain genera and removed forms from the Phaennidae and the Scolecitrichidae, as well as the relations between the four families constituting the superfamily Paracalanidae is not clearly affirmed. She suggests either the creation of new families, or a grouping of all the Paracalanina comprising also the very distant Paracalanidae from the others. The families should be placed in the superfamily Pseudocalanoidea, the most evolved, arguing about the fact that taking into account the irreversibility of the evolutive mechanisms, the taxa that have lost some character descend from taxa having conserved them or of a common ancester.
For previous authors the family comprises 6 genera: Parundinella Fleminger, 1957; Tharybis Sars, 1902; Undinella Sars, 1900, to which we may tampt to add Pseudophaenna Sars, 1902; Neoscolecithrix Canu, 1896; and probably Parascaphocalanus Brodsky, 1955. The following species could be removed from the Scolecitrichidae and Phaennidae (Bradford, 1973) and included in the Tharybidae: Scolecithricella neptuni , Xanthocalanus paraincertus , X. hispidus , X. macrocephalon , X. paululus , Amallothrix robustipes , Amallothrix sp . Roe,1975. If Neoscolecithrix harmonises well with the characters defining the family, Pseudophaenna limits its precision and Tharybis and Undinella are difficult to separate. Schulz & Beckmann (1995, p.199) add the new genus Rythabis.
Vyshkvartzeva, 1999 (2000) (p.217-218) considers the genus Neoscolecithrix as belonging to the Scolecitrichidae family ('N.' antarctica, 'N.' farrani, 'N.' watersae).
Bradford-Grieve (2001) creates the genus Cenognatha with as type species Neoscolecithrix antarctica.
Andronov (2002, p.2) notices that the genera placed in this family are questionable.
Ohtsuka, Boxshall & Fosshagen (2003, p.61-62) judge that the family (sensu stricto) incorporates only three genera: Parundinella, Tharybis, Undinella; the case of Pseudophaenna remains uncertain in this family, the other genera (*), included in this family by various authors, should be considered as closer to the Scolecitrichidae (paraphyletic). Boxshall & Halsey (2004 (p.96) believe that the genus Pseudophaenna should be transferred to the Diaxidae family.
3 genera (+ 5 species incertae sedis).
The types of setae on the ramus of Mx2 include this family in the 'Bradfordian' group of families.
For Markhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2014, p.81) 3 genera are included in the family; of them, only Tharybis Sars, 1902 is considered to be a true tharybid, but Undinella Sars, 1900 and Brodskius Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005, conventionally currently remain in the family but are not considered for the family diagnosis. Schulz & Beckman (1995) assigned Rythabis and Pseudophaenna to the familly. Pseudophaenna was earlier tentatively placed in the family by Bradford & al. (1983). However, the placement of Pseudophaenna, Rythabis and Parundinella in the Tharybidae is doubful as their morphology differs in many details from that of Tharybis. They are neither closely related to Tharybis nor to each other, and must be placed outside Tharybidae and their status remains taxonomically unresolved.

Diagnosis after Markhaseva & al. (2003, p.17) based mainly on the characters of Tharybis; an apomorphy for the family is , apperently, the enlarged and vaulted Mx1 praecoxal arthrite :
- Proximal part of right A1 in males with ancestral segments X to XII fused (Fig.5).
- A2 coxa with or without seta; basis with 2 setae, endopod segment 1 with 2 setae; setal formula of exopod 0, 0-0-0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3 (Table 1).
- Md endopod segment 2 with 9 setae; exopod 5-segmented with 6 setae; gnathobase without hump/crest (Table 2).
- Mx1 setal formula 13-14, 2-3,3-4,2-3, 7 or 9, 3-5, 7 or 9 (Table 3).
- Mx2 endites formula 4, 3, 3, 3, 4; endopod setal formula 3 worm-like (W) + 5 brush-like (br), 3 worm-like + 6 brush-like, and 3 worm-like . 5 brush-like + 1 small sclerotized (sc) setae (Table 4).
- Mxp: praecoxal endites setal formula 1, 2 and 3, with all setae sclerotized, or 1sc+2sc+ (2sc+1w); 1sc+2sc+ (2sc+1br); 1w+ (1sc+1w)+(2sc+1w), and 1w+ (1sc+1w)+(2sc+1br); basis with 3 proximal and 2 distal setae (Table 5).
- Male P5 right basipod large; P5 left biramous, right uniramous, of complex structure (segments of irregular shape); right and left coxa and basis asymmetrical, right significantly shorter than left; right exopod 2-segmented, left 3-segmented (fig.7h)

For Markhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2013, p.21) the precise differentiation between Diaixidae and Tharybidae is uncertain, and is based mostly on the enlarged and vaulted praecoxal arthrite of the Tharybis maxillule, which is, as proposed by Ferrari & Markhaseva, 2005, probable an autapomorphy of Tharybis (ca. a derived character unique to a given species or other monophyletic taxon).
For Laakmann & al. (p.330, Table 1; considered as incertae sedis gebera in the ''Bradfordian'' families (see Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005; Markhaseva & al., 2014).
Total 3 G: Tharybis (Sars, 1902), Undinella (Sars, 1900), Brodskius (Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005).

For Markhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2014, p.79) the family include only Tharybis Sras, 1902, it is considered to be a true tharybid, but Undinella Sars, 1900 and Brodskius Markhaseva & Ferrari, 2005, conventionally currently remain in the family but are not considered for the family diagnosis. Type genus: Tharybis Sars 1902.

Diagnosis after Bradford, Haakonssen & Jillett (1983, p.124), after Fleminger 1957 a :
- Head and pediger segment 1 fused, 4th and 5th pediger segments fused.
- Posterolateral corners of metasome produced into lobiform or spiniform process.
- Genital segment symmetrical, swollen laterally, ventrally only weakly produced.
- Rostrum simple, bifurcate, with slender filament on each side.
- A1 23-segmented in female, 21-segmented in male.
- Md blade elongate with 3 to 4 monocuspid, spiniform teeth confined to dorsal-most portion of lobe.
- Mx1 inner lobe 1 moderately sized, not broad or truncate.
Mx2 lobe 5 with 2 sensory filaments, 1 normal seta and 1 enlarged falcate seta; terminal part of endopod with 5 or 6 sensory filaments, some with apical flagellum.
- External exopod spines of P2-P4 ornamented with small denticles along upper and lower margins.

For Markhaseva, Laakmann & Renz (2014, p.84) this genus must be placed outside Tharybidae, his status remains taxonomically unresolved. Fleminger's description is not detailed enough to clarify the position of Parundinella within the ''Bradfordians''. Several characters exclude this genus apart from the Tharybidae: 1 - A2 endopodal segment 1 with 1 seta (versus 2 setae in Tharybis and exopod armament as 0, 0-1-1-1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 3 (versus 0, 0-0-0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3 in Tharybis); 2 - Mx1 praecoxal arthrite with 10-12 setal elements (versus 13-14 in Tharybis), exopod with 7 setae (versus 3-5 setae in Tharybis); 3 - Mx2 endopod with 5-6 setal elements (versus 8-9 setae in Tharybis); 4 - Mxp praecoxal lobes with a setal formula as 1, 2 and 2? (versus 1, 2 and 3 setae in Tharybis) (see Table 1-5); 5 - male P5, right and left coxa and basis of nearly same length (versus right and left basipods significantly asymmetrical in Tharybis), P5 right leg biramous (versus uniramous in Tharybis).
Remarks on dimensions and sex ratio:
The mean female size is 0.868 mm (n = 5; SD = 0.0760), and the mean male size is 0.810 mm (n = 4; SD = 0.0529). The size ratio (Male: Female) is comprised between 0.892 and 0.933.

Remarks: Tharybis and Undinella are difficult to separate when all their species are taken into account.
Remarks on dimensions and sex ratio:
The mean female size is 2.071 mm (n = 16; SD = 0.5889), and the mean male size is 1.719 mm (n = 15; SD = 0.1628). The size ratio (Male: Female) is 0.880 (n = 8; SD = 0.0880). The sex ratio (female: male) is probably 1.
