Comment:
Martin & Davis (2001) comment as follows: "Concerning the former suborder Gnathiidea, Brusca and Wilson (1991) suggested that the gnathiids were derived from among the families traditionally thought of as "fabelliferan" isopods (a group that they demonstrate is not monophyletic)... We have, for the current classification, removed the gnathiids from their own superfamily and have placed them within the Flabellifera, knowing that the Flabellifera itself is not monophyletic and must some day be extensively revised. L. Holthuis (pers. comm.) has suggested that we credit the family name Gnathiidae to Leach (1814) rather than to Harger (1880), as was used by Bowman and Abele (1982) and Roman and Dalens (1999)"
