Zaskakiidae

Zaskakiidae is a taxonomic name that has appeared in scientific literature as a family-level grouping of organisms. Its exact rank and membership are uncertain, and it has been variably treated as a valid family, a synonym of another family, or as a subfamily within a related lineage.

Reports of genera attributed to Zaskakiidae differ across sources. The original descriptions, if present, are poorly documented, and diagnostic characters are not consistently defined, leaving the group's delimitation unresolved.

Information on geographic range and temporal occurrence is limited. Some references cite a fossil record, but there is no broad consensus about its age or distribution, and modern databases do not consistently recognize Zaskakiidae as a valid family.

In current classifications, Zaskakiidae is not universally accepted. In some treatments it is treated as a nomen dubium or as incertae sedis within a broader clade, while others consider it a synonym of a better-established family.

For reliable status, researchers should consult primary taxonomic literature and up-to-date databases.
