The count stated by the printed source differs from the number of records the encyclopedia holds for this family. Both are shown as they are; neither has been preferred over the other.
What this page holds, and what it does not
It holds the published records of this family with the names the register designates, the plates cleared for display, and the characters of the family as the printed source states them.
No scientific distribution is published for any record yet; the names recorded for the Red Sea and the Gulf are names, not occurrence records.
No conservation assessment is published in the register yet, so no conservation badge is shown for any record.
Taxa in this family
One card per record: its plate when the register permits one, its name with its standing, and its codes. A card without an image has no plate the register lets us display.
