==Genera== The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) included four genera. Dryopolystichum was added in 2017, and Thysanosoria is now included in Lomariopsis, so that four genera are recognized : Cyclopeltis J.Sm. Dracoglossum Christenh. Dryopolystichum Copel. Lomariopsis Fée (including Thysanosoria)
