It is convenient here to accept the family in the wide sense, 

 calling it after the name of its earliest genus. In his Crustacea 

 of Norway, vol. iv., 1903, Sars divides it into a large number 

 of families, among which the names DiaptomidcB and Centro- 

 pagidce occur, each in a very restricted application.
