Abstract: The Arrenuridae is one of the bigger families in the Hydrachnidia superfamily Arrenuroidea. Taxonomic research on this family has been very active around the world in recent years. However, the systematic position of some genera remains unresolved, and the fauna of most countries and regions, including China, needs to be investigated with systematic and biological understanding of the family. This paper summarizes the historical development and present progress in taxonomic research on the higher taxa of the Arrenuridae and introduces the main bionomic features of this group.
