The paper presents the current state of knowledge of the family Protoplophoridae and results of its critical taxonomie and nomenclature analysis. One subfamily, two genera, one subgenus and three species are synonymised. Arthroplophorinae Mahunka, 1994 with Protoplophoridae Ewing, 1917, the genus Tauroplophora Gordeeva, Niemi et Petrova-Nikitina, 1998 with Grandjeanoplophora Balogh et Mahunka, 1979, the genus Archaeoplophora Subias et Arillo, 2002 with genus Protoplophora Berlese, 1910, the subgenus - Siciliophora Bernini, 1983 with Prototritia (Berlese, 1916) and the species: Arthrhoplophora berlesei Mahunka, 1977 with Arthrhoplophora vulpes Berlese, 1916, Aedoplophora africana Mahunka, 1977 with Prototritia armadillo (Berlese, 1916) and Cryptoplophora asiatica Gordeeva, Niemi et Petrova-Nikitina, 1998 with Cryptoplophora abscondita Grandjean, 1932. At present the family is represented by 28 species from the 10 following genera: Cryptoplophora Grandjean, 1932, Bursoplophora Subias et Perez-Inigo, 1978, Aedoplophora Grandjean, 1932, Arthroplophora Berlese, 1910, Hauseroplophora Mahunka, 1977, Prototritia (Berlese, 1916), Protoplophora Berlese, 1910, Csibiplophora Mahunka, 1984, Grandjeanoplophora Balogh et Mahunka, 1979, Neoprototritia Shereef, 1978. Diagnoses of all taxa are given. A key for identification of the genera and species is proposed.
