Nenteria
was placed in the family
Nenteriidae
by
Hirschmann (1979)
with no diagnosis or description for the family. This family was never described and its name remains a
nomen nudum
(
Halliday 2016
). Thus, genus
Nenteria
is here placed in the family
Trematuridae
following
Karg (1989)
and
Mašán (2001)
.
Diagnosis.
The family diagnosis of
Abo-Shnaf
et al
. (2018)
was followed.
